Abstract

Abstract Aim: To review the current literature and demonstrate the potential relationship between gut microbiome and brain tumor. Methods: A comprehensive search of the available literature was conducted using the PubMed, Google Scholar, OVID, Embase and other database to identify studies investigating the relationship between the gut microbiome and brain cancer. The search was limited to articles published in English between 2010 and 2022. Conclusion: While the research on the relationship between the gut microbiome and brain cancer is limited, the studies that have been conducted suggest that there may be a connection. The gut microbiome has been shown to play roles in a number of diseases, and some evidence suggests that it may also be involved in the development and progression of brain cancer. The gut microbiome may suggest a new method for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of brain cancer and further research in this area has the potential to lead to new and innovative strategies for managing this disease.
