Article Synopsis
- * A study in Malaysia examined 134 cancer patients and 17 healthy controls to assess the prevalence of IPIs and how they affect gut microbiota composition, finding a 32.8% prevalence of IPIs among cancer patients.
- * Results indicated significant differences in gut microbiota diversity between cancer patients and healthy controls, as well as distinct bacterial compositions between parasite-infected and non-infected cancer patients, suggesting that intestinal parasites may disrupt normal gut microbiota balance in this vulnerable group.
