The role of Fusobacterium nucleatum in diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer:research progress
As the second largest human microbial community,oral flora plays a very important role in human health.Fus-obacterium nucleatum is one of the resident bacteria in oral cavity.It maintains the homeostasis of the body together with other bacteria.Fusobacterium nucleatum has been proved to be one of the genera most relevant to colorectal cancer.It is involved in the occurrence,development and prognosis of colorectal cancer.In recent years,it has attracted the attention of many scholars.According to the pathogenic mechanism of Fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal cancer,a new method targeting Fusobacterium nucleatum for early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer is sought.This paper expounds the pathogenic mechanism of Fusobacterium nucleatum in colorectal cancer,and focuses on the potential role of Fusobac-terium nucleatum in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer,so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
