Lung cancer is one of the diseases that is often difficult to treat successfully. Rohan Kubba from the California Northstate University, Elk Grove, USA, believes that by studying the gut microbiome he can understand more about how anti-cancer treatments affect the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2023.01.03.522679v1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gut\u2013lung axis<\/a>, and how the variations found in patient microbe populations are associated with treatment outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>The microbiome consists of thousands of species including bacteria, fungi, and viruses (microbiota).
