Abstract
In recent years more and more studies have pointed out that the microbiota plays an important role in the development of gynecological tumors. A healthy female reproductive tract microbiota is dominated by lactobacilli, which can produce lactic acid and other metabolites to protect the normal reproductive tract microenvironment. If the microflora is out of balance, the abnormally increased flora may contribute to inflammation and even cancer in the reproductive system by activating the immune response, regulating metabolites and hormone levels. In this review, we focus on the relationship between microbiota and three common gynecological cancers, namely cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancers, as well as the significance of microbes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these cancers, and we introduce the application of multi-omics techniques in microbes; finally, we analyze the common characteristics of microbes in gynecological cancers, and we propose the current challenges and future research directions.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Letters is a reputable international journal that serves as a platform for significant and original contributions in cancer research. The journal welcomes both full-length articles and Mini Reviews in the wide-ranging field of basic and translational oncology. Furthermore, it frequently presents Special Issues that shed light on current and topical areas in cancer research.
Cancer Letters is highly interested in various fundamental aspects that can cater to a diverse readership. These areas include the molecular genetics and cell biology of cancer, radiation biology, molecular pathology, hormones and cancer, viral oncology, metastasis, and chemoprevention. The journal actively focuses on experimental therapeutics, particularly the advancement of targeted therapies for personalized cancer medicine, such as metronomic chemotherapy.
By publishing groundbreaking research and promoting advancements in cancer treatments, Cancer Letters aims to actively contribute to the fight against cancer and the improvement of patient outcomes.
