Article Synopsis
- The gut microbiome, which is the collection of bacteria in our digestive system, affects how people respond to medications, especially in personalized medicine.
- Researchers are studying how the gut microbiome influences the success of new cancer treatments, like immunotherapy, particularly for pancreatic cancer, which is hard to treat.
- New studies show that the gut bacteria can help improve the effectiveness of both traditional cancer treatments and the immune system's response to tumors, offering hope for better treatments.
