Description
Summary:With extensive research on the mechanism of lung cancer occurrence, studies have discovered that the development and progression of cancer are associated with the failure of immune surveillance. [...]new treatments have emerged as a practical option for patients diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Because of the extensive exposure of the lung to external environment, it is a critical site of immune–microbiota interaction and exists in homeostasis maintained by lung-resident immune cells. According to the results of the joint analysis, it was confirmed that the diversity of lung flora is associated with multiple immune cell immersion (Figure 1a). [...]whether or not bacteria play a causal role in tumorigenesis, it is necessary to explore the influence of intratumor bacteria on the different cancer phenotypes, immune system, and its interactions with tumor cells. [...]with the establishment of more extensive studies, both in animal models and patient lung tissues, it is still essential to validate these findings and to gain a more profound knowledge of the composition of lung microbiota and their roles in lung cancer.
