bacteria-induced tumor regression

Bacteria-induced tumor regression occurs when certain bacteria are introduced into the body to target and help eliminate cancer. Some bacteria naturally seek out tumors because the tumor environment is often low in oxygen and nutrients, which favors bacterial growth. When these bacteria infect the tumor, they can stimulate the immune system to recognize and attack the cancer cells more effectively. Additionally, bacteria can directly damage tumor cells or produce substances that weaken the tumor. This approach is being explored as a potential innovative treatment to improve cancer therapies, harnessing bacteria’s unique ability to locate and combat tumors within the body.
