Impact of Gut Microbiome on Immunotherapy Response
Researchers have found that the gut microbiome may influence immunotherapy response in cancer patients. By analyzing the gut microbiomes of patients using machine learning models, they discovered common features that predict response to immunotherapy. Specific gut bacteria were identified to influence outcomes in melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell cancer patients. The study suggests that baseline gut microbiome features can be predictive of clinical outcomes in oncology patients receiving immunotherapies, with potential generalizability across different cancer types and patient cohorts.
