Obesity and the associated state of subchronic inflammation are risk factors for numerous pathologies, including carcinogenesis. Recently, Schulz et al. (2014) demonstrated that high-fat diet-induced intestinal dysbiosis promotes cancer development in K-ras(G12Dint) mice without inducing obesity or mucosal inflammation, positioning microbial activities as a central component of diet-induced carcinogenesis.
