Colorectal polyps are protrusions on the surface of the colorectum, which are the most common precursors of colorectal cancer (CRC) (Studies have shown that there is a direct or indirect interaction between gut microbiota and intestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and CRC (Some studies have investigated the microbiota changes in the colorectal polyp microenvironment. For example, a study showed that This study analyzed the characteristics of faecal and mucosal microbiota in patients with colorectal polyps and healthy individuals by using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In addition, the microbial signature of the colorectal polyp tissue and normal intestinal mucosal tissue was also compared. Overall, this study attempted to provide a reference for subsequent studies regarding gut microbial changes in the whole process of development from polyps to adenocarcinoma.
