Overview: How will microbiota and metabolic regulation change the management of cancer patients? Altered metabolism is an important feature of cancer cells and a driving force for malignant progression. In cancer cells, metabolism is dysregulated to support the demands of uncontrolled proliferation. Furthermore, microorganisms within the gut and other niches play an intricate role in the metabolic regulation of host processes at the cellular and systemic levels., that can be rapidly altered by changes to the diet. Metabolic alterations in cancer therapy are key determinants to therapeutic toxicities and responses. Better knowledge on how metabolism and cancer interact and on the metabolic interplay at the host-microbe interface can help to develop novel therapeutic strategies to improve treatment outcomes in cancer.
