Tumor microbiome contributes to an aggressive phenotype in the basal-like subtype of pancreatic cancer

ABSTRACT: Despite the uniform mortality in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), clinical disease heterogeneity exists with limited genomic differences. A highly aggressive tumor subtype termed basal-like was identified to show worse outcomes and higher inflammatory responses. Here, we focus on the microbial effect in PDAC progression and present a comprehensive analysis of the tumor microbiome in different PDAC subtypes. Tumors from 62 resectable PDAC patients were subjected to metagenomic sequencing and RNA-seq.
