Researchers analyzed gut microbiota from KRAS-mutated and KRAS wild-type colorectal cancer to assess the link between disruptions in the gut microbiome and KRAS mutations in the disease.

Their findings suggest that the gut microbes may serve as noninvasive biomarkers to help identify subtypes of CRC and guide personalized treatment recommendations.

"Our new work contributes to the growing body of evidence highlighting the significance of microbiota-driven mechanisms in cancer pathogenesis," lead investigator Weizhong Tang, MD, with Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital in Nanning, China, said in a statement.
