Fusobacterium nucleatum Enrichment in Colorectal Tumor Tissue: Associations With Tumor Characteristics and Survival Outcomes
1 Jan 2025
Abstract excerpt
Background and Aims Fusobacterium nucleatum ( Fn ) is linked to colorectal cancer (CRC) etiology and survival. We hypothesized that CRC tumor attributes and survival are associated with the amount and presence of Fn in tumors. Methods Fn abundance was measured via droplet digital polymerase chain reaction in patient-matched CRC tumor and normal tissue samples from 859 Puget Sound CRC Cohort participants. Fn...
