Abstract:
This review explores the complex relationship between gut dysbiosis and hematological malignancies, focusing on graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients. We discuss how alterations in microbial diversity and composition can influence disease development, progression, and treatment outcomes in blood cancers. The mechanisms by which the gut microbiota impacts these conditions are examined, including modulation of immune responses, production of metabolites, and effects on intestinal barrier function. Recent advances in microbiome-based therapies for treating and preventing GvHD are highlighted, with emphasis on full ecosystem standardized donor-derived products. Overall, this review underscores the growing importance of microbiome research in hematology-oncology and its potential to complement existing treatments and improve outcomes for thousands of patients worldwide.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
