Dysbiosis of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract in Head-and-Neck Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study Using the Capsule Sponge Device
The bacterial communities of the upper digestive tract were clustered according to the anatomic site. Despite substantial differences in gastric and esophageal microbiota samples between FD patients and HNSCC survivors, the microbial members and diversity showed small differences between FD patients and those with esophageal squamous intraepithelial neoplasia. It remains unclear whether gastric and esophageal dysbiosis is associated with or is a consequence of treatment for HNSCC.
