Summary

This is a prospective study on the microbiota associated with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Patients with newly diagnosed SCC of oesophagus would be recruited for taking samples of oral and oesophageal rinse, tissue biopsies for investigation of the microbiota of oesophageal cancer. Control patients would be identified from patients scheduled for routine endoscopy.

Conditions

  • Esophageal Cancer
  • Microbial Colonization
