Core Tip

Core Tip: The gut and intratumor microbiome can influence tumor progression by modulating host metabolism and the immune and immune tone of the tumor microenvironment, which is defined as the immuno-oncology-microbiome (IOM) axis. The proposed the IOM axis provides a new target for tumor microbiome and tumor immunity. Current studies have shown that immunotherapy with fecal microbiota transplantation or microbial metabolism have certain effects. This review aims to explore the mechanism of the IOM axis of gastrointestinal malignancies, to reveal the mechanism and progress of gut and intratumor microbiome in gastrointestinal malignancies. Providing new insights into the research related to gastrointestinal malignancies.
