Gut Dysbiosis, Docetaxel Resistance, and Prostate Cancer
2026-08-23
Zhong et al. showed that antibiotic-associated gut dysbiosis can accelerate prostate cancer growth and reduce docetaxel response through increased intestinal permeability, intratumoral lipopolysaccharide, and activation of the NF-κB–IL6–STAT3 axis. The study links microbiome composition with metastatic disease in patients and identifies Proteobacteria as a potential biomarker and mechanistic entry point for cancer chemotherapy research.
