Abstract
The human microbiota is made up of a wide diversity of
microorganisms that inhabit our body, playing very important roles in maintaining
homeostasis. However, there is more and more evidence that relates the conformational states
of the microbiota with the etiology and pathophysiology of different diseases in humans,
including cancer. This review details some molecular interactions through which the
microbiota affects the pathophysiology of cancer, the role of the virioma and its possible
application as a powerful treatment. Finally, understanding the relationship between the
microbiota and cancer could give a better understanding of carcinogenesis and the
development of new medical strategies and approaches aimed at the prevention, treatment and
diagnosis of this disease in a more precise way.
