Abstract::
      Radiotherapy remains one of the primary therapeutic modalities for various cancers. However, individual heterogeneity exists in treatment outcomes and adverse reactions. In recent years, the interaction between the gut microbiota and radiotherapy has garnered increasing attention. The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in modulating host immune responses, maintaining intestinal barrier integrity, and participating in metabolic processes, thereby influencing both the efficacy and tolerance of radiotherapy. Modulating gut microbiota composition through probiotics, antibiotics, or dietary interventions may reduce the toxic side effects induced by radiotherapy, thereby enhancing therapeutic outcomes. Despite numerous challenges in mechanistic studies and clinical application, current research has shed light on cancer therapies. This review emphasizes the significant role of gut microbiota in radiotherapy, impacting treatment outcomes and patients’ tolerance and quality of life. Future research should further explore the links between microbiota regulation and optimization of radiotherapy outcomes, with the prospect of translating these strategies into clinical practice to provide more personalized treatment options for patients.
