laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma
Genetics and Molecular BiologyThroat Microbial Community Structure and Functional Changes in Postsurgery Laryngeal Carcinoma PatientsLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma greatly impacts patients’ lives, and noninvasive means of prognostic assessment are valuable in determining the effectiveness of laryngectomy. We set out to study the microbial structure changes in the throat before and after laryngectomy and found the gene functions of several throat bacteria to be associated with human cancer signaling pathways. Our findings may offer insights into the disease...
