| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fusobacterium species were detected in pancreatic cancer tissue. Although no significant association was found between Fusobacterium species and molecular alterations of pancreatic cancers, the tumor Fusobacterium species status was independently associated with shorter survival of pancreatic cancer. Thus, our data suggest that tumor Fusobacterium species is a promising biomarker of pancreatic cancer and could open up exciting opportunities to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of this fatal disease.
