Mouth-to-Gut Microbial Transmission Predicts Gastric and Colorectal Cancer
The mouth-to-feces index was 2.6 to 3.0 times higher in cancer patients and oral samples reached 92.9% sensitivity for colorectal cancer.

The mouth may become an unexpected source of information to detect some digestive tumors. A study conducted in South Korea has found that the composition of the mouth and intestine microbiome presents certain signs associated with gastric and colorectal cancer. The finding opens the door to researching new less invasive detection tools, although researchers warn that it will still be necessary to confirm the results in clinical studies before th…
Mouth-to-Gut Microbial Transmission Predicts Gastric and Colorectal Cancer
Researchers from Yonsei University in Seoul have shown that measuring mouth-to-gut microbial transmission patterns can distinguish patients with gastric or colorectal cancers from healthy people, potentially offering a less-invasive method for gastrointestinal cancer diagnosis and risk stratification. “While it has long been known that oral microbes can occasionally be found in the gut, this study is significant because it transformed that pheno…
Simple mouth rinse may help detect stomach and colorectal cancer signals
It's widely understood that the microbiome—especially microbes found in the mouth and the gut—can have a profound effect on health. In a study published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe on Aug. 20, researchers report that by analyzing the makeup of oral microbes, they may be able to detect signals associated with gastric (stomach) and colorectal cancer. These findings could lead to the development of new, less invasive screening tests for gast…
The composition of the oral and gut microbiome may contain signals associated with stomach and colorectal cancer, which in the long term could lead to the development of new, less invasive tests for their detection. A study led by Seoul National University investigated whether oral microbes reach and persist in the gastrointestinal tract differently in people with cancer. Researchers recruited 507 volunteers to donate oral and fecal samples. The…
Mouth and gut microbes may help detect gastrointestinal cancers
A simple mouth rinse may carry molecular clues about cancers hidden deep in the digestive system. In a study published in Cell Host & Microbe on August 20, researchers at Yonsei University in Seoul report that patterns linking oral and intestinal microbes can distinguish people with gastric or colorectal cancer from healthy individuals. The findings […]
