Gut microbes emerge as potential players in estrogen-driven cancers

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260625/Gut-microbes-emerge-as-potential-players-in-estrogen-driven-cancers.aspx Scientists say gut microbes may do more than recycle estrogen, but turning the endocrine-microbiome axis into a cancer therapy target will require stronger causal and clinical evidence. In a recent review published in the journal npj Biofilms and Microbiomes, researchers reviewed current evidence on how interactions between the microbiome and the endocrine system influence hormone-driven cancers and explored their potential as future therapeutic targets.
