Gut microbiota plays an important role in the development of colorectal cancer, such as Fusobacterium Nucleatum, Peptostreptococcus and Streptococcus thermophilus. At present, Surgery is the mainly treatment strategy of colorectal cancer patients, supplemented by postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The influence of gut microbiota on colorectal cancer is not limited to the tumor itself. After tumor resection, gut microbiota is still in a state of disorder, which will affect the short-term and long-term prognosis of patients. Therefore, understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and prognosis of colorectal cancer is helpful to improve the prognosis of patients and reduce postoperative complications. In this review, the author will summarize the influence of gut microbiota on short-term and long-term prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (combination of taxanes and anthracyclines ) induced-neutropenia and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and long-term survival in operable breast cancer patients. Methods Two hundred and eleven patients received 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (combination of taxanes and anthracyclines).Clinicopathological characteristics were compared between patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and patients without neutropenia. The efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotheray and long-term survival rate were analyzed. Results Among 211 patients there were 51 (24. 2% ) cases suffering from neutropenia and 160 (75.8%) cases were of no-neutropenia. The response to chemotherapy in patients with neutropenia were more effective than in no- neutropenia ones ( P < 0. 05 ). The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with neutropenia was 82. 4%, while the 5-year disease-free survival ( DFS) with nonneutropenia was 60% ( P < 0. 01 ). Additionally, the 5-year overall survival ( OS ) in patients with neutropenia was 90. 2% and in patients with non-neutropenia patients was 67. 5% ( P < 0. 01 ).Conclusions Chemotherapy-induced neutropenia during neoadjuvant chemotherapy combination of taxanes and anthracyclines in patients with operable breast cancer has a better prognosis. The sensitivity of tumors given to chemotherapeutic drugs could be evaluated by chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.

With the development and application of microarray and high-throughput sequencing technology, it is possible to genomi-cally scan breast cancer associated CNV and SNPs. Multiple researches showed that the frequent aberrance of 8q24 was associated with breast cancer. Oncogenes such as MYC, PSCA and breast cancer associated loci are located in 8q24, and frequent amplification of 8q24 was proposed to be related with breast cancer development and prognosis. This review summarizes the association of the 8q24 amplification and SNPs with breast cancer by correlated genes on this locus.
