18 May 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) significantly contributes to cancer-related mortality, necessitating the exploration of prognostic factors beyond TNM staging. This study investigates the composition of the gut microbiome and microbial DNA fragments in stage II/III CRC. METHODS: rRNA sequencing, and blood samples were tested for the presence of microbial DNA fragments. De novo clustering analysis categorized...
