-Mediated Cancer Therapy: An Innovative Therapeutic Strategy.

Bacterial-mediated cancer therapy (BMCT) has become a hot topic in the area of antitumor treatment. has been recommended to specifically colonize and proliferate inside tumors and even inhibit tumor growth. () is one of the most promising mediators, which can be easily manipulated. has been engineered and designed as cancer-targeting therapeutics, and can be improved by combining with other therapeutic methods, e.g. chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which regulate the tumor microenvironment synergistically. In view of all these strengths, the engineered attenuated strains have significant advantages for tumor diagnosis and treatment. This treatment has also been approved by the FDA for clinical trial. In this review, we summarized the recent progress and research in the field of -mediated cancer therapy.
