Intestinal Flora Disruption and Novel Biomarkers Associated With Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Conclusion: We found that NPC was associated with structural imbalances in the intestinal flora, with C. ramosum that promoted the elevation of 5-HT and opportunistic pathogens being significantly increased, while probiotics significantly decreased. C. ramosum can be used as a novel biomarker and disease prediction models should be established for NPC. The new biomarkers and disease prediction models may be used for disease risk prediction and the screening of high-risk populations, as well as for the early noninvasive diagnosis of NPC.
