Abstract

Many studies suggest that tumor microbiome closely relates to the oncogenesis and anti-tumor responses in multiple cancer types (e.g., colorectal cancer (CRC), breast cancer, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer), thereby raising an emerging research area of bacteria-related tumor therapy. Nanomaterials have long been used for both cancer and bacterial infection treatment, holding great potential for bacteria-related tumor therapy. In this review, we summarized recent progress in nanomaterials for bacteria-related tumor therapy. We focus on the types and mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria in the development and promotion of cancers and emphasize how nanomaterials work. We also briefly discuss the design principles and challenges of nanomaterials for bacteria-related tumor therapy. We hope this review can provide some insights into this emerging and rapidly growing research area.
