Abstract
There is increasing appreciation of the microbial influence on cancer, with emerging evidence about the tumor microbiome and crosstalk with the gut microbiome. A great example of this is pancreatic cancer, in which intra-tumoral microbes such as bacteria and fungi have been shown to contribute to carcinogenesis and therapeutic responses, both positively and negatively.
