Abstract

In recent years, a growing body of research has highlighted the significant influence of the microbiota on tumor immunity within the tumor microenvironment (TME). While much attention has been given to bacteria, emerging evidence suggests that fungi also play crucial roles in tumor development. The present review aimed to consolidate the latest findings on the mechanisms governing the interactions between fungi and the immune system or TME. By elucidating these intricate mechanisms, novel insights into the modulation of tumor immunity and therapeutic strategies may be uncovered. Ultimately, a deeper understanding of the interplay between fungi and the TME holds promise for the development of innovative management strategies and targeted drugs to enhance tumor therapy efficacy.
