Scientists map the hidden world of germs in kids fighting cancer
NCT ID NCT02949427
Summary
This study aimed to learn about the community of microbes (like bacteria, fungi, and viruses) living in the mouths and noses of children with cancer. Researchers collected samples from 62 children with leukemia or those receiving a bone marrow transplant at three different times during their treatment. The goal was to understand how strong cancer treatments affect these microbes, which can sometimes cause infections in vulnerable patients.
