Bacteria in tumors “hit the road” together

Abstract

Tumors contain bacteria, but the functional significance of this tumor microbiota is not appreciated. Fu et al. show that bacteria within breast tumor cells contribute to metastasis, in part, by enhancing tumor cell survival to mechanical fluid shear stress as would be found in the circulation.
