ABSTRACT

Colorectalcancer (CRC) is one of the common malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract, multiple factors influence its pathogenesis. However, numerous studies have found that Fusobacterium nucleatum(Fn) is highly enriched in tumor microenvironment and fecal samples of CRC patients. Fn participates in and promotes the development of CRC by invading virulence factors, producing proinflammatory microenvironment, and inhibiting immune cell activity. This review provides an overview of the relationship between Fn and CRC by summarizing the existing literature, and provides new ideas for the treatment of CRC in the future.
