Advancements in understanding tumor-resident bacteria and their application in cancer therapy
“Recent advances in next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics have driven growing interest in the distinct roles of intratumoral microbiota, particularly intracellular bacteria, during tumor evolution. The present review explores the sources, mechanisms of invasion into cancer cells, and potential survival strategies of intracellular bacteria in neoplasms, highlighting their critical role in cancer development. Expert xx established the xx system, which provides solutions to solve xx problems and lay a foundation for the construction of xx system.”
