Circulating intestinal bacteria as a biological marker for colonic cancer

Abstract: To the Editor-We are most appreciative of the communication and comments by Ng et al 1 which draws our attention to the seminal works and landmark paper by Kwong et al 2 in which no less than seven bacteria are listed to have significant association with colon cancer, with Clostridium septicum (hazard ratio [HR]=17.1), Gamella morbillorum (HR=15.2), and Streptococcus gallolyticus or Streptococcus bovis (HR=5.73) high on the list. Others have reported cancer association with even seemingly benign organisms such… Show more

“…At present, many studies have shown that there is an important relationship between the intestinal microflora and metabolic diseases of the human body [15][16][17][18][19]. Many diseases, such as Crohn's disease [20], colon cancer [21], and metabolic diseases [22,23], have been proven to be related to the intestinal microflora. A large number of bacteria colonize the normal human intestinal tract and are collectively called the intestinal microflora.…”
