Can Your Gut Health Affect Brain Tumor Growth?
There is also new evidence of interaction between gut microbiota and brain tumors. Gut dysbiosis, a disruption in the balance of microbes within the gut, may have an effect on systemic inflammation and immune status. For example, metabolites from gut bacteria like SCFAs can also have an effect on the tumor microenvironment and angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and immune cell invasion in the brain. More information is required to outline the mechanism and therapeutic significance of this gut-brain axis in brain tumors (e.g., gliomas).
