Abstract:
The intestinal flora is involved in the development of prostate cancer through various mechanisms. And radiotherapy has a significant effect on the composition of the intestinal flora, which triggers clinical symptoms and affects the efficacy of radiotherapy. The mechanisms of the correlation of intestinal flora, prostate cancer and radiotherapy will be described in this article aiming to provide a reference for more effective prevention and prediction of prostate cancer, enhancement of the effectiveness of prostate cancer treatment as well as improvement of patients' quality of life.
