Confrontation of the ambivalent roles of the intestinal microbiota in carcinogenesis: Oncogenic or anticancer agents?

The study of the contradictory roles of the gut microbiota in carcinogenesis reveals the complex interactions between intestinal microorganisms and tumor formation. This microbial ecosystem, composed of several bacterial species, plays an essential role in human biological balance. However, a disruption of this microbial community can potentially trigger the emergence of cancers, particularly colon cancer. This research aims to explore how certain intestinal bacteria, identified as oncogenic age
