Research Article: Detection and comparison of tumor cell-associated microbiota from different compartments of colorectal cancer
Abstract:
Introduction: Intratumoral microbes play an important role in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, studying intratumoral microbes in CRC faces technical challenges, as tumor microbe communities are often contaminated by fecal microbes due to the structure of the gut folds and villi. The present study aimed to develop a new method for isolating tumor cell-associated microbiota and comparing microbial populations from different compartments.
