Abstract Background Cancer is a thorny problem which cannot be conquered by mankind at present and recent researchers have put their focus on tumor microenviroment. Neutrophils, the prominent leukocytes in peripheral blood that accumulate tumours, serves as frontline cells response to tumour progression owing rapid development of micro biotechnology. Hence, targeted therapy with these neutrophils has made targeting treatment promising field cancer therapy. Main body We broadly summarise some studies phenotypes functions tumour‐associated well unique web‐like products play role progression—neutrophil extracellular traps—and interactions between microenvironment. Moreover, several therapeutic progress provided potential strategies for cancer. Conclusion This review aims offer holistic perspective interventions further inspire more researches therapies.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with poor prognosis, primarily due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which contributes treatment resistance. Recent research shows that the microbiome, including microbial communities in oral cavity, gut, bile duct, and intratumoral environments, plays a key role PDAC development, imbalances (dysbiosis) promoting inflammation, progression, therapy resistance, side effects. Microbial metabolites can also affect immune cells, especially natural killer (NK) are vital for surveillance, response treatment-related Dysbiosis NK cell function, leading resistance We propose combined biomarker approach, integrating microbiome composition profiles, help predict effects, enabling more personalized therapies. This review examines how dysbiosis dysfunction discusses strategies (e.g., antibiotics, probiotics, vaccines) modulate enhance function.

Exosomes, as a class of small extracellular vesicles closely related to the biological behavior various types tumors, are currently attracting research attention in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Regarding diagnosis, stability their membrane structure wide distribution body fluids render exosomes promising biomarkers. It is expected that exosome-based liquid biopsy will become an important tool for tumor future. For treatment, exosomes, “golden communicators” between cells, can be designed deliver different drugs, aiming achieve low-toxicity low-immunogenicity targeted delivery. Signaling pathways exosome contents also used safer more effective immunotherapy against tumors. Exosomes derived from range sources, exhibit characteristics well clinical application advantages therapies. In this review, we analyzed main sources have great potential broad prospects therapy.

The gut microbiome plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), influencing oncogenesis, immune responses, and treatment outcomes. Studies have identified microbial species like Porphyromonas gingivalis Fusobacterium nucleatum, that promote PDAC progression through various mechanisms. Additionally, affects cell activation response to immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors CAR-T therapy. Specific microbes their metabolites play effectiveness (ICIs). Alterations can either enhance or diminish responses PD-1/PD-L1 CTLA-4 blockade bacterial trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) lipopolysaccharide (LPS) impact antitumor immunity, offering potential targets augment immunotherapy responses. Modulating fecal microbiota transplantation, probiotics, prebiotics, dietary changes, antibiotics shows promise treatment, although outcomes are highly variable.
