Microbiome researchers challenge the state of the art in colon cancer biomarker discovery - EurekAlert
<strong>For the first time, researchers from VIB-KU Leuven, UZ Leuven, Janssen Pharmaceutica and multiple international collaborators have introduced quantitative methods and extensive confounder control to discover microbiome biomarkers in colorectal cancer development. While multiple microbial taxa have been put forward as potential cancer-associated biomarkers in the past, this new study uncovers obscured contributions that may have resulted in incorrect associations. The results have been published in </strong><em><strong>Nature Medicine</strong></em><strong>.</strong>
