Diagnosing cancer by microbial signatures
Year: 2021
Type: article
Abstract: Cancer tissues are often thought to be sterile entities in the human body, exempt from the influence of our microbial cohabitants. To test this theory, we examined genetic information from patients’ tumors and blood and discovered cancer-specific microbial communities among more than 30 cancer types. This study proposes a new class of microbial-based cancer diagnostics. - submission by Gregory D. Poore, Rob Knight
