Scientists have discovered a common type of bacteria in the mouth that can kill certain types of cancer.
Scientists were surprised to learn that Fusobacterium (a common bacteria found in the mouth) has the ability to kill certain cancers, the researchers said.
According to research, people whose throat and head cancers were found to have these bacteria had better outcomes.
After initial information about this came out, researchers from Guy’s and St. Thomas and King’s College London are conducting further studies.
In the new study, researchers used different methods to explore this relationship.
Scientists use modeling to identify which bacteria they are interested in for further investigation.
They then studied the bacteria’s effects on cancer cells in a laboratory and analyzed data from 155 head and neck cancer patients whose tumors had been submitted to the Cancer Genome Atlas database. were
