What are the challenges in microbiome research in cancer?
Despite the promising findings, microbiome research in cancer faces several challenges:
Sampling Variability: Differences in sample collection, storage, and analysis can lead to inconsistent results. Complex Interactions: The interactions between the microbiome, host genetics, and environmental factors are complex and not fully understood. Causality: Establishing causality rather than mere association between microbiome changes and cancer is challenging.
