Cancer microbiome
- Submission status

Our understanding of the interaction between environment, microbiome, and disease processes has evolved rapidly in recent years. We’re increasingly aware that what we eat and where we live can have an effect on our microbiome, and that this in turn can affect our bodies. Early indications suggest that in disease processes, such as those of tumor formation and metastasis, the interactions between the microbiome and the body are likely to have important effects. Nevertheless, many of the details and mechanisms of these interactions are still unclear.
This collection invites submissions which shed more light on the interaction between cancers and the microbiome.

Saori Furuta is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cancer Biology at the University of Toledo. Her research interests include tumor microenvironment, cancer immunology, cancer immunotherapy, and the microbiome. Dr Furuta has been an Editorial Board Member for Scientific Reports since 2019.
Kaitlin H. Wade is a Lecturer of Epidemiology at the University of Bristol. Dr Wade and her team focus on the appropriate application of causal inference methods, including the use of comprehensive longitudinal cohorts, randomized controlled trials and Mendelian randomization, in understanding the causal role played by the human gut microbiome on cancer etiology and other related health outcomes.
