| Summary: | ABSTRACT Purpose This scoping review aims to explore the relationship between health‐promoting lifestyle behaviors and gut microbiota in survivors of hematological cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Given the rising incidence of these malignancies and the associated treatment challenges, understanding how lifestyle factors influence gut health may provide insights into improving survivorship outcomes. Methods We conducted a comprehensive search across multiple databases, including PubMed/Medline, CINAHL, and Scopus, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA‐ScR). The search strategy incorporated MeSH terms related to hematological cancers, health‐promoting lifestyle behaviors, and gut microbiota. Inclusion criteria focused on primary research studies published in English that reported gut microbiota results in survivors of hematological cancers. A total of 1717 papers were initially identified, with 16 studies meeting the inclusion criteria after screening for relevance. Results The review identified a significant association between health‐promoting lifestyle behaviors, such as physical activity, nutrition, and stress management, and the composition and diversity of gut microbiota in cancer survivors. The findings suggest that engaging in these behaviors may enhance gut health, potentially mitigating treatment‐related symptoms and improving overall quality of life. Notably, the studies highlighted the importance of tailored interventions that consider individual patient needs and preferences. Conclusions This scoping review underscores the critical role of health‐promoting lifestyle behaviors in influencing gut microbiota among survivors of hematological cancers. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to establish causal relationships and explore the mechanisms underlying these associations. By promoting healthy lifestyle choices, healthcare providers can enhance survivorship care and improve health outcomes for this population. |
