Understanding the mechanisms and translational implications of the microbiome for cancer therapy innovation

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

The intersection of the microbiota and cancer and the mechanisms that define these interactions are a fascinating, rapidly evolving area of cancer biology and therapeutics. Here we present recent insights into the mechanisms by which specific bacteria or their communities contribute to carcinogenesis and discuss the bidirectional interplay between microbiota and host gene or epigenome signaling. We conclude with comments on manipulation of the microbiota for the therapeutic benefit of patients with cancer.
