Human soft tissue sarcomas harbor an intratumoral viral microbiome which is linked with natural killer cell infiltrate and prognosis by William J Murphy, Robert J Canter, Nikhil Joshi, Sean J Judge, Morgan A Darrow, Steve W Thorpe, Alicia A Gingrich, Lauren M Perry, Sylvia M Cruz, Kara T Kleber, Louis B Jones, Ugur N Basmaci, Matthew L Settles, Blythe P Durbin-Johnson, Arta Monir Monjazeb, Janai Carr-Ascher, Jonathan A Eisen

“…Mounting evidence has also demonstrated an intratumoral microbiome, including in soft tissue sarcomas (STS), although detailed characterization of the STS intratumoral microbiome is limited. We sought to characterize the intratumoral microbiome in patients with STS undergoing preoperative radiotherapy and surgery, hypothesizing the presence of a distinct intratumoral microbiome with potentially clinically significant microbial signatures.Methods We prospectively obtained tumor and stool samples from adult patients with non-metastatic STS using a strict sterile collection protocol to minimize contamination. …”
