Cervical and Tumor-Associated Microbiomes in Botswana Women With and Without HIV With Carcinoma of the Cervix Before and After Definitive Chemoradiation
Microbiome profiles differ between WLWH and HIV-negative women with cervical cancer in Botswana. The microbiome might have prognostic significance. Future research is needed to better understand the significance of the microbiota in cervical cancer progression and treatment outcomes and the potential role of microbiome-targeted interventions.
