Description
Summary:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. The gut microbiota, a diverse community of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses through the gut-immune axis. Recent studies have highlighted its significant impact on TNBC progression and the efficacy of immunotherapies. This review examines the interactions between gut microbiota and the immune system in TNBC, focusing on key immune cells and pathways involved in tumor immunity. It also explores microbiota modulation strategies, including probiotics, prebiotics, dietary interventions, and fecal microbiota transplantation, as potential methods to enhance immunotherapeutic outcomes. Understanding these mechanisms offers promising avenues for improving treatment efficacy and patient prognosis in TNBC.
