Distinct gut microbiome signature can signal pancreatic cancer: study
However, it is unclear whether the microbial profile leads to pancreatic cancer development or is a response to the cancer
A specific gut microbiome signature may help identify pancreatic cancer early and serve as a prognostic marker, a study suggests.
Using patient saliva and stool samples, researchers found that it may be possible to spot the malignancy through a specific panel of microbes, regardless of the stage of disease.
