First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looked at 60 adults with locally advanced rectal cancer to see if bacteria in their gut and mouth could predict how well they respond to chemotherapy and radiation before surgery. Researchers collected stool and saliva samples before treatment and used machine learning to build a model that forecasts tumor shrinkage. The goal is to better personalize treatment, but this was an observational study, not a direct treatment trial.
