Predicting cancer prognosis and drug response from the tumor microbiome

2020-07-22

Abstract excerpt

Tumor gene expression is predictive of patient prognosis in some cancers. However, RNA- seq and whole genome sequencing data contain not only reads from host tumor and normal tissue, but also reads from the tumor microbiome, which can be used to infer the microbial abundances in each tumor. Here, we show that tumor microbial abundances, alone or in combination with tumor gene expression data, can predict cancer pr...
