Tumor microbiome: roles in tumor initiation, progression, and therapy by Shengxin Zhang, Jing Huang, Zedong Jiang, Huan Tong, Xuelei Ma, Yang Liu

“…We further propose the tumor microbiome may evade immunity and promote angiogenesis to support tumor progression, while uncovering specific microbial influences on each step of the metastatic cascade, such as invasion, circulation, and seeding in secondary sites. Additionally, tumor microbiome is closely associated with drug resistance and influences therapeutic efficacy by modulating immune responses, drug metabolism, and apoptotic pathways. …”
