Esophageal microbiome correlates with post-esophagectomy anastomotic leak in cancer patients
In this study, we provide a profile of the understudied esophageal microbiome and its connection to ALs. Our results can provide potential clues on how to avoid ALs by considering a patient's personal microbiome when providing perioperative care.
