Crosstalk Between Intratumoral Microbes and Tumor Immunity: Implications for Tumor Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging studies indicate that microbes are present in tumor cells and immune cells. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) constitute an important component of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and have an important impact on tumor progression and treatment. Objective Through the general elaboration of ITM represented by bacteria and

Harnessing viral footprints in circulating free DNA (cfDNA) for early cancer detection: A focus on liquid‐biopsy‐based screening

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 3, Page 511-526, 1 February 2026.
Abstract Viral infections play a significant role in cancer development, making detecting viral signatures a promising approach for early cancer diagnosis. Circulating free DNA (cfDNA), released into the bloodstream by tumors and other cells, has emerged as a powerful biomarker for non‐invasive cancer screening.
