Microbiota Intestinal y Cáncer

Microbiota is defined as the group of microorganisms present in several places in the body. Those found in the intestine play an essential role due to the close relationship they have with health and disease, and particularly with cancer. Knowing which microorganisms populate the gastrointestinal tract, their functions, the effects of altering their composition, as well as identifying the relationship between a healthy microbiota and the prevention of tumor development, or how its alteration is linked to tumor development, deserves special attention. The gut microbiota is perceived as a key element piece in the treatment of cancer.
