The microbiome has emerged as a central factor in human health and disease, demonstrating an intricate relationship between the microbiome and cancer. Although some microbiomes present within local tissues have been shown to restrict cancer development, mainly by interacting with cancer cells or the host immune system, some microorganisms are harmful to human health and risk factors for cancer development. This review summarizes the recent evidence concerning the microbiome and some of the most common cancer types (i.e., lung, head and neck, breast, gastric, colorectal, prostate, and cervix cancers), providing a general overview of future clinical approaches and perspectives.}, organization = {JDC2022-048679-I, funded byMCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by the European Union “NextGenerationEU”/PRTR}, organization = {“UGR Plan Propio de Investigación 2016” and the “Excellence actions: Unit of Excellence on Exercise and Health (UCEES), University of Granada”}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Microbiome}, keywords = {Cancer}, keywords = {Health}, title = {Cancer and the Microbiome of the Human Body}, doi = {10.3390/nu16162790}, author = {Herrera Quintana, Lourdes María and Vázquez Lorente, Héctor and López Garzón, María de la Cabeza and Cortés Martín, Adrián and Plaza Díaz, Julio}, }
