Human Microbiomes Influence Cancer Therapy

Many factors influence how a cancer patient responds to treatment—among them, age, tumor stage, and other preexisting health conditions. What's increasingly apparent is that trillions of microbes in the body also determine how well cancer treatments will work. Initial evidence of how the microbiome affects cancer treatment came primarily from studies in mice. Now scientists are finding similar evidence in humans.
