Microbiota and the Lung Cancer
Characterization of Microbiota (intestinal, from Lungs, and Upper Airways) in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma: Exploratory Study
Centre Jean Perrin
40 participants
May 23, 2017
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The subject is to study the lung microbiota and the one of upper airways (UAs) (much less studied than the intestinal microbiota) in 40 patients having lung cancer. 20 patients undergo only surgical treatment, while other half receives also chemotherapy. The idea is to explore changes in microbiota of the lung, upper UAs and intestine, and potentially find associations between them. These results will serve us as a base for the future study, focused on manipulation of the microbiota by prebiotics, probiotics or symbiotics and its effect on anti-cancer treatment tolerance and effectiveness.
