Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the breast cancer and microbiota in intestinal tract. To carry out analysis on gut microbial content in patients with breast cancer and healthy controls, fecal samples were obtained from volunteers. No conclusive data has been obtained so far because of small number of the registration.
