Relationship between bacteria and breast cancer / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

With the application of high throughput sequencing and other technologies, in recent years people have found that bacteria are not only the causative factors of common breast diseases such as mastitis, but also may be involved in the occurrence and development of breast cancer. There are unique bacterial communities in the internal tissues of the breast, and their existence may be related to the incidence of breast cancer. Recent studies have found that intestinal flora may also affect the incidence of breast cancer by regulating estrogen and other pathways. Further exploration of the influence of bacteria on breast cancer will provide new ideas for diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
