“…Case reports suggesting the malignant potential of C. albicans were also published (Williams et al 2001 ) . Lu et al ( 2002 ) investigated 42 patients with OSCC before and after operation, the number of bacterial colony forming units found was signi fi cantly higher at the OSCC surface than at the healthy oral mucosa. McCullough et al ( 2002 ) recruited 223 patients who underwent biopsies of oral mucosal lesions and showed that the frequency of oral yeast carriage was signi fi cantly greater in patients with oral epithelial dysplasia or OSCC compared to others.…”

The problem of the role of human microbiota in cancer development is one of the most attractive in modern biology. It has been proved that microbiota is a key player in a number of vital processes including metabolism, immunity, regulation of apoptosis, growth, proliferation, survival, angiogenesis etc. Our understanding of the role of human microbiota in etiopathogenesis of various diseases has been greatly improved in the recent years, and now microbiota is obviously established as a crucially important part of the human body. Moreover, microbiota possesses both local and distant effects, regulating the homeostasis of various organ systems. However, our understanding of the role of microbiota is only super fi cial, and a wide spectrum of investigations in this fi eld is required. In this chapter, we shed light on a problem of the signi fi cance of oral and gut microbiota (since microbiota of these organs is the most investigated at the moment) in cancer development.
