Predicting cancer-related mycobiome aspects in gastrointestinal cancers: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colonization of the human gut and tumor tissue by non-pathogenic fungi has emerged as a potential risk factor associated with cancer epidemics. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a systematic review to assess the role of fungal colonization in gastrointestinal (GI) tumors in increasing diagnostic efficiency.

Methods

A PubMed citation search was conducted for publications up to and including March 2023, followed by full-text screening. Results were reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. According to the Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome (PICO) framework, patients diagnosed with early-and advanced-stage GI cancers, GI adenoma patients, and healthy subjects were included with metagenomic
