Abstract
Emerging studies have disclosed the pivotal role of cancer-associated microbiota in supporting cancer development, progression and dissemination, with the in-depth comprehending of tumor microenvironment. In particular, certain invasive bacteria that hide in various cells within the tumor tissues can render assistance to tumor growth and invasion through intricate mechanisms implicated in multiple branches of cancer biology. Thus, tumor-resident intracellular microbes are anticipated as next-generation targets for oncotherapy. This review is intended to delve into these internalized bacteria-driven cancer-promoting mechanisms and explore diversified antimicrobial therapeutic strategies to counteract the detrimental impact caused by these intruders, thereby improving therapeutic benefit of antineoplastic therapy.
