        | Core Tip | Understanding individual susceptibility to cancer is critical for effective prevention and treatment strategies. While genetic studies have identified numerous cancer-susceptibility genes, much of the heritable risk remains unexplained. Emerging evidence indicates the microbiome as a key contributor to this "missing heritability". Microbiomes influence cancer risk through immune modulation, metabolic activity, and interaction with environmental exposures. This review discusses the complex gene-microbiome-environment interplay in cancer susceptibility and emphasizes the value of integrative models and tools, such as collaborative cross mice and artificial intelligence, for uncovering microbial determinants of cancer risk. |
