Multi-site screening for Pneumocystis jirovecii in lung cancer: possible tumour tissue colonization
The ability of <i>Pneumocystis</i> to colonize NPL may be linked to the stage of tumour advancement, suggesting that local tumour-related factors could influence its colonization. These findings support further investigation of the lung microbiome in the context of tumour-associated microenvironments and their potential utility as complementary biomarkers in lung cancer.
