Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has become a serious threat to human life and health. Most patients are diagnosed at the late stage of advanced CRC, resulting in losing their best opportunity for surgical treatment. Chemotherapy plays a crucial role in the control and treatment of advanced CRC. However, the cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs can easily cause the imbalance of gut flora, damage the barrier of the gastrointestinal mucosa, and mediate mucosal inflammation of the digestive tract, which is called “gastrointestinal mucositis.” This mucositis can affect the quality of life of the host and even threaten their lives. Several studies reported the association between chemotherapy-mediated gastrointestinal mucositis in CRC and gut dysbiosis. However, the underlying mechanisms of this association are still unclear. The alternative or complementary treatments to reshape gut microbiota and slow down the side effects of chemotherapy have shown the improvement of gastrointestinal mucositis following chemotherapy in the CRC condition. This review will summarize and discuss the evidence of the association between chemotherapy-mediated gastrointestinal mucositis in CRC and altered gut microbiota from in vivo and clinical studies. The possible mechanisms of gastrointestinal mucositis, including the destruction of the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier, the induction of gut dysbiosis, and histopathological changes in the gut of CRC with chemotherapy will be illustrated. In addition, the nonpharmacological interventions and phytochemical extracts by using the manipulation of the microbial population for therapeutic purposes for relieving side effects of chemotherapy as well as a cancer treatment would be summarized and discussed in this review.
