We compared the lung microbiome in tumor and adjacent tissues
Recent evidence demonstrates the existence of diversified microbiota in the lung. However, the effect of lung carcinogenesis on the flora in lung microenvironment has yet not been well investigated. In this study, we surveyed the microbial composition and diversity in lung tumor and paired adjacent normal tissues obtained from 55 lung cancer patients to test whether any specific tumor associated microbial features in lung microenvironment can be identified.
