Potential Role of Gut Bacteria in the Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Liver cancer is the fourth most deadly cancer, and early detection and timely treatment play a crucial role in it. Intestinal bacteria affect the development of liver cancer through various pathways, and in this study, we analyzed the gut bacteria of liver cancer patients in detail by using macro-genome sequencing technology. This work identified some of the bacterial species and metabolic pathways that may affect the development of liver cancer, in addition, the bacterial factors that may affect the tumor size and other important clinical indicators were also identified, which provides a scientific basis for the research related to the development of liver cancer and new insights for the clinical treatment of liver cancer.
