Understanding how diet shapes the gut microbiome\u2014and how these microbial shifts influence cancer risk\u2014is a\u00a0critical question\u00a0in cancer prevention research.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As large population cohorts mature and multiomics technologies advance, researchers are now able\u00a0to improve our understanding of\u00a0the relationship between\u00a0diet, the\u00a0microbiome, and\u00a0cancer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Mingyang Song<\/span><\/span>, associate professor of clinical epidemiology and nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health,\u00a0aims to\u00a0identify nutritional and gut microbiota-targeted strategies for cancer prevention and treatment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Technology Networks\u00a0<\/span>spoke with Song ahead of\u00a0his talk at the\u00a0<\/span>American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting<\/span><\/span>\u00a0(AACR 2026)\u00a0to discuss how large\u2011scale cohorts and clinical trials can be combined to uncover causal\u00a0links between diet, <\/span>the gut microbiome<\/span><\/span>, and cancer risk. He also shared\u00a0what recent findings reveal about food\u2013microbiome interactions,\u00a0how microbiome\u2011informed tools may reshape colorectal cancer screening, and\u00a0the\u00a0challenges of personalizing dietary recommendations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Integrating\u00a0cohort studies and clinical trials to reveal causal diet\u2013microbiome\u2013cancer pathways<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

How do you approach integrating large-scale cohort studies and biomarker-based clinical trials to uncover causal links between diet, the gut microbiome, and cancer risk?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Large prospective cohorts\u00a0remain\u00a0the backbone of population\u2011level cancer epidemiology, offering the statistical power to detect associations between dietary patterns, microbiome features,\u00a0and disease outcomes\u00a0over time. Song explained\u00a0that these datasets allow researchers to \u201cstudy the patterns of diet and the microbiome in relation to the disease outcome and identify associations.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe use population-based cohort studies to identify\u00a0associations, and\u00a0then conduct clinical trials to confirm these observations.\u201d\u00a0\u2014…<\/span>
