Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks among the most prevalent types of cancer in the world and its incidence and mortality are increasing year by year, frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. Traditional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy have limited efficacy, so new diagnostic and treatment strategies are urgently needed. Recent research has discovered that intratumoral microbiota significantly influences the development, progression, and metastasis of HCC by modulating inflammation, immune responses, and cellular signaling pathways. Intratumoral microbiota contributes to the pathologic process of HCC by influencing the tumor microenvironment and altering the function of immune system. This article reviews the mechanism of intratumoral microbiota in HCC and anticipates the future possibilities of intratumoral microbiota-based therapeutic strategies for HCC management. This emerging field provides fresh insights into early diagnosis and personalized approaches for HCC while holding substantial clinical application potential to improve patient outcomes and tailor interventions to individual tumor profiles.
