Pancreatic cancer is an insidious disease, often diagnosed late in its course when curative treatments are moot, with a 5-year median overall survival of ~12%. While other malignancies have recently shown a response to immunotherapy, targeting the immune system in pancreatic cancer has historically not been successful. Resistance to immunotherapy in pancreatic cancer is believed to be partly due to the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. The microbiome, comprised of trillions of microorganisms living in a pathobiont and symbiotic relationship with its host, has recently been demonstrated to modulate the efficacy of immunotherapy in several human cancers. This review focuses on the known interactions of the microbiome and its potential to mitigate pathways for immunotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer, a deadly disease with limited treatment options. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cancer (PDAC) is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States by 2030. Patients are often diagnosed with advanced disease, which explains the dismal 5-year median overall survival rate of ~12%. Immunotherapy has been successful in improving outcomes in the past decade for a variety of malignancies, including gastrointestinal cancers. However, PDAC is historically an immunologically “cold” tumor, one with an immunosuppressive environment and with restricted entry of immune cells that have limited the success of immunotherapy in these tumors. The microbiome, the intricate community of microorganisms present on and within humans, has been shown to contribute to many cancers, including PDAC. Recently, its role in tumor immunology and response to immunotherapy has generated much interest. Herein, the current state of the interaction of the microbiome and immunotherapy in PDAC is discussed with a focus on needed areas of study in order to harness the immune system to combat pancreatic cancer.
