ABSTRACT
Small molecule receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (SM-TKIs) are among a group of targeted cancer therapies, intended to be more specific to cancer cells compared with treatments, such as chemotherapy, hence reducing adverse events. Unfortunately, many patients report high levels of diarrhea, the pathogenesis of which remains under investigation. In this article, we compare the current state of knowledge of the pathogenesis of chemotherapy-induced diarrhea (CID) in comparison to SM-TKI-induced diarrhea, and investigate how a similar research approach in both areas may be beneficial. To this end, we review evidence that both treatment modalities may interact with the gut microbiome, and as such the microbiome should be investigated for its ability to reduce the risk of diarrhea.
