Gut and Mucosal Microbiomes Exploration in Patients with Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Healthy Controls

Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis. Growing evidence has suggested a link between gut microbial dysbiosis and various diseases, including biliary diseases and cancer. However, the relationship between microbial dysbiosis and cholangiocarcinoma remains unclear. This project aimed to compare the mucosal and gut microbiomes of patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with those of healthy controls
