Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the tumors with high morbidity and mortality in the world.Due to the close and special relationship between intestine and liver,gut microbiota can affect chronic liver disease and promote the occurrence and development of HCC through the interaction between intestine and liver.This article mainly introduces that gut microbiota promotes the occurrence and development of HCC through intestinal leakage and MAMPs Toll like receptors,imbalance of flora and its metabolites,and regulation of tumor microenvironment.Targeting gut microbiota,such as antibiotics to kill harmful flora,antagonists inhibiting TLR,probiotic imbalance of flora and FMT to improve gut microbiota,provides a new strategy for the treatment of HCC.

Key words: Hepatocellular carcinoma, Gut microbiota, Chronic liver disease, Tumor therapy
