 abstract={Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the third most diagnosed cancer worldwide, with 1.9 million new cases reported annually. Notwithstanding the progress made in the field of therapeutic modalities and the advent of early diagnosis, CRC continues to represent the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality. The interactions between cancer cells and enteric nervous system (ENS) neurons are of great importance for the prevention and/or progression of CRC. Dietary factors play an important role in regulating both processes. The consumption of foods rich in polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, and the use of probiotics has been shown to promote proper ENS function, which in turn has been demonstrated to indirectly inhibit the development or progression of CRC. Conversely, a diet comprising a high proportion of saturated fats and refined sugars can induce oxidative stress and inflammation, which exacerbates the disease. Nutritional education and dietary modifications can reduce the incidence of new cases of CRC and improve prognosis. Further research into the potential anti- or pro-cancer effects of food substances is recommended.},
