# Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) a Powerful Oncobacterium

This section focuses on **Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn)** as a microbial factor with real oncology relevance.

The strongest themes are:

* oral-source burden
* tumour targeting
* metastatic signalling
* gut ecology
* practical ways to reduce bacterial pressure

Content is organised from source and mechanism through to support options.

### Next planned additions

The next layer for this section is:

* **Fn organised by cancer type**
* a full **L. reuteri** deep dive
* testing and source-control pages
