Abstract
peer-reviewed, published studies describing the role of local, gastrointestinal-specific microbiota or the role of the gut microbiome in treatment responses were reviewed. PubMed was searched from 1 September 2022 to 1 November 2022, using the following terms in combination: "microbiome", "tumor microbiome", "esophageal cancer", "cancer", "cancer treatment", and "immunotherapy". Original research articles were considered, and other reviews or editorials were discarded. In total, approximately 250 articles were considered. over 70 studies describing microbiome research in either gastrointestinal carcinogenesis or the systemic treatment response were identified and reviewed. a growing body of evidence supports the role of the esophageal microbiome in both esophageal tumorigenesis and the immune checkpoint inhibitor response. More well-designed, comprehensive studies are required to collect the appropriate clinical, microbial, and immunophenotype data that are needed to clarify the precise role of the microbiome in esophageal carcinogenesis and treatment.
