Mayo clinic launches study linking gut microbes to brain cancer
NCT ID NCT06117930
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study at Mayo Clinic looks at how tiny organisms in your gut might influence the growth of brain tumors. Researchers will collect stool, blood, urine, saliva, and tissue samples from 100 people with brain tumors to build a special biobank. The goal is to understand the connection between the gut and the brain, which could lead to new insights in the future.
