Zusammenfassung:The human gut is mainly habited by a staggering amount and abundance of bacteria as well as fungi. Gut dysbiosis is believed as a pivotal factor in colorectal cancer (CRC) development. Lately increasing evidence from animal or clinical studies suggested that fungal disturbance also contributed to CRC development. This review summarized the current status of fungal dysbiosis in CRC and highlighted the potential tumorigenic mechanisms of fungi. Then the fungal markers and some therapeutic strategies for CRC were discussed. It would provide a better understanding of the correlation of mycobiota and CRC, and modulating fungal community would be a promising target against CRC.
