Emerging Cancer Therapy: Microbial Approaches and Biotechnological Tools

Explores current and emerging applications of microbes as cancer-fighting agents.
Today, treatment options for cancer patients typically include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. While these therapies have saved lives and reduced pain and suffering, cancer still takes millions of lives every year around the world. In recent years, researchers have been working on a new strategy: developing microbes and microbial products that specifically attack cancer cells.
