INTRODUCTION

Estimates predict that by 2025 there will be 77 thousand new cases of colorectal cancer (CRC), an increase of 6.98%1. Research emphasizes that around 30% of new cases of CRC diagnosed will be due to preventable habits, such as diet, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol consumption, diets rich in saturated fats, and comorbidities, such as obesity and diabetes2-3. In this context, lifestyle, especially eating habits, can make individuals more prone to developing CRC4-6.

The intestine is inhabited by trillions of bacteria that make up the intestinal microbiota (IM), containing microorganisms that can both help maintain health and cause disease7-8. For intestinal functions to occur properly, a balance between populations is necessary. Otherwise, the process of dysbiosis begins, which is associated with the development of tumors such as pancreatic, ovarian, lung, sarcomas, melanomas and especially colorectal tumors4,9-10. IM dysbiosis is closely related to the process of colon carcinogenesis3,5,11 by inducing fundamental mechanisms for the proliferation of malignant cells3.

IM dysbiosis may be related to increased adverse events of CRC chemotherapy treatment and altered effects of radiotherapy and immunotherapy4. Chemotherapeutic regimens used in CRC treatment can induce dysbiosis10,12, and studies even indicate that it is involved in failure of treatment with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin5,10,13 and in the increase in side effects 5.

Recently, studies aimed at handling IM, through the use of probiotics and nutritional strategies, have demonstrated their effectiveness in reducing side effects, increasing quality of life and the ability to enhance the activity of chemotherapy drugs5,10. Given the benefits obtained by reducing dysbiosis and maintaining a healthy IM, it is believed to be a relevant topic with gaps to be explored10,14.

It is expected that mapping protective factors associated with IM during intravenous chemotherapy treatment of adult patients with CRC can provide tools for planning new strategies during chemotherapy, elucidate concepts, and encourage discussion of therapeutic interventions, especially for nursing professionals who work in health care for people with gastrointestinal oncological diseases.

Therefore, evidence-based practices and guidelines are necessary to provide patients with qualified care linked to updated and safe guidelines15-16. Considering the new perspectives of IM and the possible benefits in CRC treatment, the research is justified as it aims to provide professionals, especially nurses, with the knowledge the subject and to provide health guidelines, with the purpose of answering the following research question: what are the protective factors for IM in adult patients with CRC undergoing intravenous chemotherapy treatment? To answer this question, the objective was to map protective factors related to IM in adult patients with CRC undergoing intravenous chemotherapy treatment.

METHOD

This is a scoping review that followed the JBI15,17 guidelines, with the aim of synthesizing and objectively presenting relevant results on a given topic through a rigid method and rigorous selection18,19-20. Recommendations21 and amendments from other authors22-23 were also used. The following stages15 were used: define a research question; identify relevant studies; select studies; map data; compile, summarize and report results. Furthermore, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist was used as a guide for preparing the report24. The protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework: OSF.IO/Y2U6V.

To construct the research question17,23 with specific criteria, the mnemonic Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) was used. Thus, Population consisted of: adult patients with CRC undergoing intravenous chemotherapy treatment; Concept consisted of: protective factors of IM during intravenous chemotherapy treatment of CRC; Context consisted of: patients with CRC undergoing intravenous chemotherapy treatment in hospital or outpatient care in public or private health institutions. The search strategy was carried out in three stages. In the first, the terms were searched in controlled vocabularies of the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS), Medical Subject Heading (MeSH), Embase subject Headings (Emtree); then, the search was performed in the MEDLINE/PubMed (Chart 1), Cochrane Library, OSF, PROSPERO, and JBI Synthesis databases. From this search, terms were identified in titles, abstracts and descriptors such as ("Colorectal Neoplasms" OR "Neoplasms of the Colon" OR "Rectal Neoplasms") AND ("Gastrointestinal Microbiome" OR Dysbiosis) AND ("Pharmacological Treatment" OR "Adjuvant Chemotherapy" OR Antineoplastics), and alternative terms or synonyms were used. The other search strategies used, stratified by database, are available in full at: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.27068272.v1.

Chart 1-

In the second stage, the terms identified in the first stage were aggregated in the search strategy, applied and adapted on February 22, 2023 in the following databases and information sources: WPRIM; LILACS; IBECS; BINACIS from the Virtual Health Library (VHL) Regional Portal; MEDLINE/PubMed; Embase and Scopus; Web of Science (WoS)/Elsevier; Cochrane Library; CINAHL; Academic Search Premier; Food Science Source and Food Science and Technology Abstracts/EBSCO; Google Scholar; and CAPES Catalog of Theses & Dissertations. In the third stage, the studies selected for full reading had their reference lists consulted to identify articles that may not have been captured in the previous stages, which went through the blind peer review process.

No time or language filter was used, and all published materials, including gray literature, were accepted, as long as they answered the research question: what are the protective factors for IM in adult patients with CRC undergoing intravenous chemotherapy? Studies whose participants were adult patients with CRC who underwent intravenous chemotherapy treatment, ​​in outpatient or inpatient settings, that addressed IM, with surgical procedures, before, concomitantly with or after treatment, were included. The sample did not include studies with pediatric patients who used monoclonal antibody therapies, molecular targeted therapy or immunotherapy.

Controlled studies (randomized and non-randomized), before-and-after studies and interrupted time series studies, analytical observational research, prospective and retrospective cohort studies, case-control and cross-sectional analytical studies, literature and systematic reviews, descriptive observational studies, case series, individual case reports and descriptive cross-sectional studies were considered. Grey literature, such as dissertations and theses, was preferably considered, with articles originating from the aforementioned research reports. Experimental and quasi-experimental studies with animals, qualitative studies, reviews, experience reports, reflections, phenomenological designs, grounded theory, ethnography and action research, abstracts and letters to the editor were excluded.

All included articles were analyzed by two independent reviewers with experience in the subject, who had access to the full search results. The selection process began with reading the titles, followed by reading the abstracts and finally reading the full text, which complied with the inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by comparing the spreadsheets to assess agreement among reviewers. Articles that raised doubts as to their inclusion were forwarded to a third reviewer, a professor and PhD holder, who made the final decision on whether or not to include the documents. The references were stored and organized in the online Rayann software, in which duplicate articles were excluded.

To extract evidence, a data form was developed in accordance with the JBI Manual17, which underwent a pilot test to fine-tune the extraction of documents in relation to the inclusion and exclusion criteria between the pair of reviewers, who remained blinded and worked on independent spreadsheets25. The test was carried out in three databases, WoS, Cochrane Library, OSF, to assess agreement for including articles. After the pilot test, the data extraction instrument was used for the other search sources (Chart 2).

The results will be presented through a flowchart with the document selection process27 and a chart with the characteristics of mapped documents.

RESULTS

A total of 3,025 documents were mapped during the study period in the VHL (n=30; 0.99%), CINAHL (n=329; 10.88%), Cochrane Library (n=2; 0.07%), Embase (n=354; 11.70%), PMC (n=17; 0.56%), PubMed (n=531; 17.55%), SciELO (n=2; 0.07%), Scopus (n=1,252; 41.39%) and WoS (n=508; 16.79%) databases. Of these, 1,217 duplicates were suppressed, leaving 1,808 documents. After reading the title and abstracts, 1,692 were excluded. A total of 116 articles remained for full-text reading; of these, 25 were included, and their 1,840 references were reviewed to include any document not mapped in previous searches. In the review of references, five studies were identified, which were included, totaling 30 articles, described in Figure 1 using the PRISMA-ScR flow diagram26-27.

DISCUSSION

All mapped articles were in English, confirming the current scenario of internationalization of publications58. Evidence points to the influence of IM and dysbiosis on the efficacy and response of patients not only to chemotherapy, but also to radiotherapy and immunotherapy, on adverse effects and some correlated with specific microorganisms59-60.

Studies on probiotics for modulating IM show their protective potential during chemotherapy treatment, as exemplified by the nine randomized clinical trials found in this scoping review conducted with patients with CRC28-29,31,39,44,53-56, reinforcing the capacity of probiotics in modulating IM, in search of better results in the treatment of these patients61. Other studies show the reduction of diarrhea in patients with CRC using fluorouracil36 and irinotecan28, in addition to reducing the use of loperamide, abdominal distension, intestinal colitis and toxicity28, adding benefits during treatment due to their chemoprotective effect49. It is important to emphasize that the effects of probiotics also depend on individual characteristics and variables such as sex, age, eating habits, which are determinants. An example of this is the result of a study carried out in Malaysia that did not identify any difference in the side effects of the use of XELOX among groups that received probiotics31.

The safety of administering probiotics to patients with CRC is controversial, given the possibility of inducing bacterial translocation and promoting the occurrence of sepsis, due to the fact that patients have weakened immunity associated with increased intestinal permeability62. To assess the safety of administering probiotics to patients with CRC undergoing chemotherapy, several studies have tested this hypothesis: randomized clinical trials28,31,39,43 and reviews31-32 did not identify higher infection rates in patients who received probiotics. The results obtained demonstrate not only the safety of probiotic supplementation, but also its efficacy in treating adverse events and improving patients’ immunity during chemotherapy42-43.

Gastrointestinal toxicity is a common adverse event during chemotherapy in patients with CRC, and can lead to treatment delays, suspension, drug changes, dose reductions, and hospitalizations, which exposes patients to greater risks63. Several studies have sought solutions for gastrointestinal toxicity in patients with CRC using probiotics, as evidenced by studies with patients using fluorouracil who had minimized gastrointestinal symptoms - reduction of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal distension42 and reduction of oral mucositis47 - after using yogurt enriched with probiotics39,47. It is important to highlight the duration of the intervention, which is also relevant. In the studies, the supplementation period varied from one to 24 days, and the benefits were greater when use occurred for at least four weeks42. Others have demonstrated benefits such as increased quality of life, diversity of IM and reduction of pathogenic microorganisms46. Studies using probiotics after surgical procedures have shown safety and efficacy in reducing inflammatory cytokines, postoperative complications31, reduction of infections46, length of hospital stay and risk of death46.

Different studies relate IM dysbiosis to the process of colorectal carcinogenesis32,49. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy induce dysbiosis, leading to worse outcomes36,42. Research shows that probiotic administration during treatment can minimize IM dysbiosis and increase the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) in the intestine53, causing numerous benefits during treatment, as shown by a randomized clinical trial53,55 and a prospective study57 with patients using capecitabine + oxaliplatin and fluorouracil, in which there was a reduction in gastrointestinal toxicity. It is important to emphasize that the efficacy of probiotics depends on an individual response. In this regard, other alternatives that are being explored, such as fecal microbiota transplantation, have limitations regarding the safety of the procedure in patients with CRC32.

The influence of IM on drug efficacy has been studied, as evidenced by studies that showed differences in the IM of patients who presented intestinal lesions and lower response to fluorouracil and oxaliplatin depending on the bacterial species most abundant in the IM33. However, the toxicity of irinotecan is greater in the presence of bacteria that produce b-glucuronidase45. The presence of Clostridium and Actinobacteria worsened the side effects of cisplatin and fluorouracil50. Klebsiella pneumoniae worsened the side effects of capecitabine and oxaliplatin. Colonization by Fusonucleatum can reduce the response to fluorouracil so significantly that it reduced patient survival64-65. However, there are still gaps that determine the results of these modifications of IM in clinical practices used on a large scale.

Evidence collected indicates that the use of prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics can modulate IM and delay colorectal carcinogenesis32,42. Research reinforces that the use of probiotics improves the immune response, reduces carcinogenic compounds and damage to the intestinal mucosa, being able to alter IM composition, reduce adverse effects and improve the response to chemotherapy34-35,42-43,46.

In order to restore and promote a healthy balance of the microbiota, dietary interventions have been tested for their potential to restore beneficial bacterial populations in the colon30. Several studies with CRC patients taking omega-3 supplements have shown a reduction in the incidence and severity of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy54. Fish oil supplementation reduced nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, loss of lean mass, and depressive symptoms29. And when combined with probiotics, there was an improvement in quality of life scores44. Studies have linked eating habits as an important factor in the development of CRC. Diets high in red meat and fats promote the growth of pro-carcinogenic bacteria in the colon, and can lead to dysbiosis, and increase inflammation. Conversely, a diet rich in fiber has a lower incidence of colorectal adenomas and subsequent development of CRC, and an increase in SCFA obtained through the digestion of fiber in the colon38,46. The presence of F. prausnitzii in IM is involved in butyrate production, which protects the intestinal mucosa; however, its populations are reduced in fecal samples from patients with CRC when compared to healthy individuals38.

The influence of IM in CRC treatment is noticeable. As a limitation, there are still gaps regarding individual responses, geographic variables, dietary habits and exact mechanisms by which IM interacts with chemotherapeutics, requiring robust studies to determine the influence of IM in CRC.

CONCLUSION

The results of the studies analyzed showed protective factors for patients with CRC using probiotics and nutritional interventions such as yogurt, omega 3, fiber, and turmeric. These reduced the adverse effects of patients undergoing chemotherapy, culminating in an increase in quality of life as well as in the relationship between IM and dysbiosis with the process of colorectal carcinogenesis. Although the data are promising, the findings of clinical studies are inconclusive regarding greater efficacy of treatment. Drug resistance influenced by IM is better documented in preclinical studies. Therefore, probiotics and nutritional interventions should be considered as part of a complementary approach to therapy discussed among professionals. In this context, the role of the multidisciplinary team, especially nurses, in treatment planning, as well as in dissemination of knowledge, in educating patients/families about the use of concomitant therapies, which improve quality of life by reducing side effects based on updated scientific knowledge, stands out.
