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...
New findings reveal how to regulate the microbiota to modify the course of lung cancer
New findings reveal how to regulate the microbiota to modify the course of lung cancer Three studies show the importance of the microbiota in the onset, extension and evolution of the disease. “They open up new avenues for early diagnosis and new treatments by...

Interplay Between Oncomicrobes, the Microbiota and the Immune System: Impact on Responses to Cancer Immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapies harness the power of the immune system to target cancer cells that express tumor-associated antigens. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as monoclonal antibodies against inhibitory T cell receptors, i.e., PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4, allow cancer...
Combined Microbiome and Metabolome Analysis Reveals a Novel Interplay Between Intestinal Flora and Serum Metabolites in Lung Cancer
As the leading cause of cancer death, lung cancer seriously endangers human health and quality of life. Although many studies have reported the intestinal microbial composition of lung cancer, little is known about the interplay between intestinal microbiome and...
Alterations of lung microbiota in patients with non-small cell lung cancer
The role of lung microbiota in non-small cell lung cancer remains unclear. We investigated the characteristics and functional roles of lung microbiota in non-small cell lung cancer.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples were obtained from patients with non-small cell...
