Liver cirrhosis contributes to the disorder of gut microbiota in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

ConclusionOur results suggest that GM disorders are more common in patients with LC ‐HCC. The butyrate‐producing genera were decreased, while genera producing‐lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were increased in LC‐HCC patients. Further studies of GM disorders may achieve early diagnosis and new therapeutic approaches for HCC patients.
