The Complex Network between Inflammation and Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Abstract: Background: colorectal cancer (CRC) has a multifactorial etiology which comprises microbiota, genetic predisposition, diet, environmental factors, and last but not least, a substantial contribution by inflammation. The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review of the literature regarding the strong link between inflammation and colorectal cancer. Methods: A systematic review of the literature on PubMed (Medline), Scopus, Cochrane and EMBase databases was performed, following the PRISMA 2020 guideline… Show more

“…In fact, it accounted for 10% of newly diagnosed cancer cases and 9.4% cancer-related deaths worldwide in 2020, making it the second most common cancer of the year. The CRC has complex causes, including factors such as genetics, diet, and inflammation. , Despite the increasing diversity of clinical approaches for the treatment of tumors, , the prognosis of patients with CRC remains unsatisfactory. Therefore, novel therapeutic approaches need to be developed urgently for improving the prognosis of patients with CRC …”

“…This imbalance in intestinal bacterial composition results in varying degrees of intestinal flora dysbiosis, which in turn increases permeability of the intestinal mucosa and levels of inflammatory factors. It is believed that these changes play a crucial role in the development and progression of CRC [ 28 ]. Probiotic supplementation can effectively regulate the composition of the intestinal flora and influence the development and treatment of CRC [ 12 , 29 , 30 ].…”
