Article Synopsis
- Scientists are studying how the tiny living things in our gut (gut microbiome) can affect cancer treatment, specifically with a method called immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).
- They looked at 175 patients with a type of skin cancer called melanoma to see how changes in the gut microbiome relate to how well the treatment works over time.
- They found that certain types of gut bacteria can help predict if patients will do better or worse with the treatment, and understanding these changes can help doctors improve therapies in the future.
