Dysbiosis and extraintestinal cancers by Ruishan He, Pingqian Qi, Linzhen Shu, Yidan Ding, Peng Zeng, Guosheng Wen, Ying Xiong, Huan Deng

“…Additionally, we delve into the limitations inherent in current methodologies, particularly the challenges associated with differentiating low loads gut-derived microbiome within tumors from potential sample contamination or symbiotic microorganisms. Although still controversial, an understanding of the contribution of translocated intestinal microbiota and their metabolites to the pathological continuum from chronic inflammation to tumors could offer a novel foundation for the development of targeted therapeutics.…”
