Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent causes of cancer-related fatalities globally, and its development is closely associated with dietary and microbial factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of ganjang, a traditional fermented soy sauce, in alleviating colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) in a mouse model induced by azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (AOM/DSS). The bacterial composition of ganjang samples from different regions primarily included spp.
