foster myeloid suppression and β-catenin- or IL-17-mediated signalling, which blunt checkpoint activity. Multi-omics analyses link biosynthetic genes for inosine, riboflavin, and folate to durable clinical benefit. Faecal microbiota transplantation from responders has produced objective regressions in otherwise refractory microsatellite-stable disease. This narrative review maps CRC-microbiota-immune crosstalk, evaluates biomarkers and interventions, and proposes a CRC-specific, three-tiered clinical algorithm. We outline standards for trial design and manufacturing processes to facilitate the translation of microbiota-guided therapy into routine practice.
