Abstract:
Breast cancer is the leading malignancy in women worldwide. To date, much is known about the molecular subtypes of these malignant neoplasms and the mechanisms of drug resistance. Significant success has been achieved in approaches to early diagnosis, which allows identifying the tumor process in the early stages of development. Recently, the study of the influence of the human body microbiota on cancer development and the effectiveness of treatment has become an actively developing field of research. This review presents an analysis of the literature data on this issue.
