Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a worldwide public health issue specifically in patients with chronic diseases associated with a western lifestyle, such as metabolic diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Interestingly, both metabolic disorders and IBD are characterized by a chronic state of inflammation that contributes to the carcinogenesis with specific alteration of the gut microbiota composition and function. Evidence now shows that this altered gut microbiota contributes fueling a chronic pro-inflammatory state in a vicious circle that can favor CRC development. In this review article, we present the current knowledge concerning the involvement of the gut microbiota as a procarcinogenic factor shared by IBD and cardiometabolic diseases, and provide clues as to how it may be used to prevent or diagnose CRC.
