An oral rinse shows distinct differences in the microbiomes of people with pre-gastric or gastric cancer compared with controls, suggesting the possibility of a new tool for early detection.

A mouth rinse used to identify oral microbiome composition could serve as an early-detection tool for gastric cancer , new evidence suggests.

Detecting gastric cancer now generally requires an invasive procedure, such as endoscopy. Therefore, a noninvasive"swish and spit" test could be more accessible and allow for more widespread screening, Perati said at a May 8 press briefing during which her research was previewed for Digestive Disease Week 2024.of cancer-related death in the world.

The results suggest that the microbiome changes may occur as soon as the stomach environment starts to undergo changes that can eventually turn into cancer. When asked how these changes could affect the accuracy of an oral rinse test, Perati said"it's known that, in general, dietary modifications can have an impact on the diversity and the prevalence of certain bacteria throughout the GI tract."

New Multitarget FIT Test Improves Early Detection of Colorectal CancerA new multitarget FIT test has been developed to improve early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC). This test uses antibodies to test for hemoglobin in stool samples, as well as additional DNA, RNA, or protein biomarkers associated with CRC. Compared to the standard FIT test, the multitarget FIT test is better at detecting traces of blood in the stool, leading to more instances of CRC or other advanced lesions being uncovered. However, the DNA test also often leads to more false-positive findings.
