Abstract: Changes in the intestinal ecosystem will affect human health and even cause colorectal cancer.A large amount of evidence shows that a pathological imbalance of the microbiota is common in the intestines of patients with colorectal cancer,and metabolites derived from imbalanced microbiota can also affect the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer.This article reviews the ways which metabolites of specific gut microbiota trigger the progression of colorectal cancer,summarizes the latest progress in the contribution of metabolites from gut microbiota to colorectal cancer,and considers the accumulative effect of metabolites and the combination of multiple metabolites to predict and prevent colorectal cancer.

Key words: Intestinal microbiota, Colorectal cancer, Metabolites
