Abstract

Popular views of what constitutes a healthy diet may shift, but the professional consensus is comparatively static and largely supported by our growing understanding of diet-microbiota interactions. The gut microbiome's responsiveness to diet and ability to calibrate immune and metabolic function shape new research opportunities across the cancer continuum.

Keywords: cancer patients; cancer prevention; dietary patterns; gut microbiome; nutrition.
