New Insights Into the Cancer–Microbiome–Immune Axis: Decrypting a Decade of Discoveries
The past decade has witnessed groundbreaking advances in the field of microbiome research. An area where immense implications of the microbiome have been demonstrated is tumor biology. The microbiome affects tumor initiation and progression through direct effects on...
Human Microbiome and Cancer
The microbiome refers to the collection of all of the gene sequences from a community of microbes in the human body. High-throughput DNA amplification and sequencing technologies to characterize the microbial communities provide data for investigations of microbial...
The promise and challenge of cancer microbiome research
The human microbiome is a significant community, with an estimated ratio of one microbial cell per human cell [1] and nearly 500-fold more microbial genes than host genes [2]. This community is dynamically shaped alongside human development from birth through...
Effects of microbiota on anticancer drugs: Current knowledge and potential applications
Over the last decade, mounting evidence has revealed the key roles of gut microbiota in modulating the efficacy and toxicity of anticancer drugs, via mechanisms such as immunomodulation and microbial enzymatic degradation. As such, human microbiota presents as an...
Gut Microbiota and Chemotherapy Resistance of Colorectal Cancer
Studies have reported the effects of the gut microbiota on colorectal cancer (CRC) chemotherapy, but few studies have investigated the association between gut microbiota and targeted therapy. This study investigated the role of the gut microbiota in the treatment...
Effects of microbiota on anticancer drugs: Current knowledge and potential applications
Cancer is a major public health burden and one of the leading causes of human death worldwide. Globally, more than 19.3 million cases of cancer are diagnosed each year and more than 9.9 million people die as a result. Remarkable advances have been made in the fight...
Pan-cancer analyses reveal cancer-type-specific fungal ecologies and bacteriome interactions
Cancer-microbe associations have been explored for centuries, but cancer-associated fungi have rarely been examined. Here, we comprehensively characterize the cancer mycobiome within 17,401 patient tissue, blood, and plasma samples across 35 cancer types in four...

Dispatches from the microbial frontier of cancer research
As scientists catalog the microbial life living inside our gut, on our skin and in every nook and cranny of our body, disease researchers are hoping to use this collection of creatures — our microbiome — to find better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. We...
