STAT3 and breast carcinoma: The study suggested that combining flora-metabolites with the flora-bacteria (e.g., Faecalibacterium combined with phosphocholine) might serve as promising diagnostic biomarkers for breast cancer, and that Faecalibacterium may suppress breast cancer proliferation and invasion by inhibiting IL-6 signal transducers and activators of the transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway [83].
