The influence of gut microbiota on transient receptor potential (TRP) channels has been identified as an important element in the development of gastrointestinal conditions, yet its involvement in cancer progression is not as thoroughly understood. This review explores the multifaceted roles of TRP channels in oncogenesis and emphasizes their significance in cancer progression and therapeutic outcomes. Critical focus was placed on the influence of traditional medicines, such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) related aromatic medicines, on TRP channel functions. Moreover, we explored the interplay between the gut microbiota and TRP channels in cancer signaling, highlighting the therapeutic potential of targeting this axis in cancer treatment. The impact of current therapies on TRP channel function was examined, demonstrating the need for a comprehensive understanding of how different modalities affect TRP channels in cancer. Technological advancements, including artificial intelligence (AI) tools and computer-aided drug development (CADD), have been discussed in the context of leveraging TRP channels for innovative cancer therapies. Future directions emphasize the potential applications of TRP channel research in advancing cancer treatment and enhancing patients' well-being.
