Is it true that gut microbiota is considered as panacea in cancer therapy?

Recent studies demonstrated that a combination of the gut microbiome has the vital effect on the efficacy of anticancer immune therapies. Regulatory effects of microbiota have been shown in different types of cancer therapies such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Immune-checkpoint-blocked therapies are the recent efficient cancer immunotherapy strategies. The target of immune-checkpoint blocking is cytotoxic T lymphocyte protein-4 (CTLA-4) or blockade of programmed death-1 (PD-1) protein and its ligand programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) that they have been considered as cancer immunotherapy in recent years. In the latest studies, it have been demonstrated that several gut bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila, Bifidobacterium spp., Faecalibacterium spp., and Bacteroides fragilis have the regulatory effects on PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 blocked anticancer therapy outcome.
