Infos

The Microbiome and Cancer Treatment: Overcoming Resistance and Enhancing Efficacy delves into the intricate relationship between the microbiome and cancer treatment, highlighting the microbiome's critical role in drug resistance and therapeutic efficacy. The chapters are meticulously organized to provide a deep understanding of how the microbiome interacts with the immune system and influences cancer development and response to therapies. This book opens new avenues for investigation by providing a better understanding of the mechanisms of resistance and the role of microbiome alterations in chemoresistance. This knowledge can guide the development of innovative strategies to counteract drug resistance. The book also addresses the complex "chicken-or-egg" relationship between microbiome alterations and chemoresistance. A diverse blend of chapters fosters interdisciplinary collaboration across fields such as immunology, microbiology, oncology, and pharmacology, promoting holistic approaches to cancer treatment. The audience can benefit by gaining awareness and a better understanding of how the microbiome impacts health, particularly in the context of cancer, leading to more informed health choices.
