Inhaltsangabe

The relationship between the body and its microorganisms is critical in understanding cancer development. Microbiota, the bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microbes inhabiting body sites, along with their collective genetic material, the microbiome, regulate immune responses, metabolism, and inflammation. Nutrients influence the composition and function of these microbial communities, creating complex interactions that promote or suppress cancerous tumor formation. Imbalances in microbiota, alongside dietary and metabolic factors, change signaling pathways and the tumor microenvironment, shaping cancer risk and progression. Understanding these connections offers new medical avenues for prevention, diagnosis, and therapy in oncology. The Role of Microbiota, Microbiome, and Nutrients in Cancer Development explores cancer biology through the lens of microbiota and nutrition. It will explore how the gut and other microbiomes interact with the host, influence oncogenesis, and modulate therapeutic responses. This book covers topics such as biology, oncology, and precision medicine, and is a useful resource for medical and healthcare professionals, biologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
