Colorectal Cancer (CRC) accounts for sizeable disease burden globally. The symbiotic association between gut inhabitants and the digestive tract contributes to gut homeostasis. Studies suggest that altered microbiota composition or dysbiosis can contribute to colorectal carcinogenesis. This review outlines the complex interplay between the microbiome, diet and CRC with a special emphasis on microbial metabolites, gut barrier function, specific bacterial species which influence the micro environment by various mechanisms like oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune modulation and inflammation. This would help in establishing novel diagnostic, prognostic markers and newer therapeutics for CRC.
