Intratumoral Fusobacterium nucleatum Drives Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts Enrichment and Immune Exclusion in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Fusobacterium nucleatum contributes to the progression of ESCC by inducing NF‐κB–mediated inflammatory signaling in tumor cells and promoting CAFs activation. Its presence may facilitate immune exclusion and tumor invasion through stromal remodeling. Furthermore, F.
