Concomitant analyses of intratumoral microbiota and genomic features reveal distinct racial differences in breast cancer

Sheetal Parida et al.

Summary: Racial disparities in breast cancer are evident, with Black women having a lower risk of incidence but the highest mortality. This study investigates the genomic and metagenomic features of breast tumors from Asian, Black and white women, revealing distinctive microbial compositions and tumor immune microenvironment-related traits. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of racial disparities in breast cancer and suggest potential race-specific microbial biomarkers.

Regional Variation in the Tumor Microenvironment, Immune Escape and Prognostic Factors in Breast Cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa

Marcus Bauer et al.

Summary: The low overall survival rates of breast cancer patients in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can be attributed to differences in tumor biology, advanced stages at diagnosis, and limited access to therapy. This study reveals regional differences in the composition of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and their impact on patients' prognosis. These regional disparities should be considered for therapy decisions and personalized treatment design in SSA.

Composition and Functional Potential of the Human Mammary Microbiota Prior to and Following Breast Tumor Diagnosis

Courtney Hoskinson et al.

Summary: Microbiota changes in breast tissue are associated with the development of breast cancer. This study analyzed the resident bacterial taxa in different stages of breast cancer and identified compositional shifts and metabolic reprogramming in the breast tissue microbiota. Furthermore, altered associations between the human host and mammary microbiota in the precancerous tissue indicate a potential link with cancer susceptibility. These findings suggest that dysbiosis of the breast tissue microbiota may play a role in breast cancer development and could be targeted for prevention.

Tumor microbiome - an integral part of the tumor microenvironment

Sona Ciernikova et al.

Summary: The tumor microbiome, along with other components of the tumor microenvironment, plays a significant role in tumor progression and cancer treatment. The composition of the microbiome can impact tumor cell biology, immune response modulation, and cancer drug metabolism. Exploring the communication between the gut and tumor microbiomes may provide new opportunities for targeting the microbiome to improve cancer treatment.

The Role of The Tumor Microbiome in Tumor Development and Its Treatment

Yan Chen et al.

Summary: Commensal bacteria and other microorganisms in the human body play a significant role in the development and treatment of cancers. The tumor microbiome (TM) has been identified in different types of cancers, and it has diverse compositions and effects on tumors. TM is involved in the formation of tumor microenvironment, regulation of local immunity, and modification of tumor cell biology, which directly affects the efficacy of tumor drug treatments. TM has the potential to serve as a biomarker for tumors, and engineered tumor-targeting bacteria and anti-cancer microbial agents are promising in tumor treatment.

The Link Between the Microbiota and HER2+Breast Cancer: The New Challenge of Precision Medicine

Martina Di Modica et al.

Summary: Microbiota plays a key role in cancer by influencing various host physiological functions and affecting the efficacy of anticancer treatments. The involvement of the breast microbiota in breast cancer has been extensively studied. This review focuses on the impact of gut and breast microbiota on HER2+ breast cancer subtype and discusses the potential of defining microbial signatures associated with disease aggressiveness, treatment response, and therapy toxicity. The mechanisms of microorganism-host interactions and the possibility of microbiota editing in breast cancer prevention and treatment optimization are also explored.

Characterization of the Metabolome of Breast Tissues from Non-Hispanic Black and Non-Hispanic White Women Reveals Correlations between Microbial Dysbiosis and Enhanced Lipid Metabolism Pathways in Triple-Negative Breast Tumors

Alana Smith et al.

Summary: This study investigates the association between breast microbial dysbiosis and alterations in host metabolic pathways in breast tumors, specifically triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), of non-Hispanic black and non-Hispanic white women. The findings show significant correlations between elevated lipid metabolism pathways and microbial dysbiosis in TNBC tissues, providing insights into the potential mechanisms underlying TNBC and identifying microbial-based targets for future research.

Associations of fecal microbial profiles with breast cancer and nonmalignant breast disease in the Ghana Breast Health Study

Doratha A. Byrd et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota may influence breast cancer development by regulating hormonal, metabolic and immunologic pathways. Associations between fecal bacteria and both breast cancer and nonmalignant breast disease were studied in Ghana, with findings indicating strong and similar correlations with both conditions. This suggests potential microbial mechanisms of breast disease.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Gut microbiota-derived metabolites in CRC progression and causation

Nishu Dalal et al.

Summary: Recent research suggests that dysbiosis and improper concentrations of microbial metabolites in the gut may lead to the carcinogenesis of colorectal cancer. Specific bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleaturm, Streptococcus bovis, Helicobacter pylori, Bacteroides fragilis and Clostridium septicum, have been implicated in CRC development by producing metabolites that promote inflammation and cancer progression. Metabolites derived from gut microbiota are now considered as potential factors in CRC diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy based on recent studies.
