Gastric cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignancy in China,with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options,posing a serious threat to the health of Chinese people.Therefore,it is crucial to find effective treatments for gastric cancer.The gut microbiota is a diverse and complex ecosystem that co-evolves with the host and has specificity,playing a significant role in regulating health and disease.Gut microbiota homeostasis (GMH) refers to the state of internal environment in the gut in which the highly diverse microbiota is interdependent with the host.Gastric cancer may be induced by an imbalance in gut microbiota homeostasis and accelerated by the regulation of the gut microbiota community and the accumulation of carcinogenic metabolites.This paper focused on the concept of gut microbiota homeostasis and explored the progress of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating gut microbiota homeostasis for the treatment of gastric cancer,in the hope of providing new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
