Study of gut bacteria in breast cancer surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how bacteria in the gut and tumor affect breast cancer in women having surgery. The goal is to learn more about the cancer to improve treatment in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older with breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of your body.
- You will have surgery to remove the breast cancer, and enough tissue can be collected for the study.
- You must not have taken any antibiotics in the two weeks before surgery.
- You should not have a high fever or active infection right before surgery.
- You must be willing to sign a form that says you agree to join the study.

This study gives a probiotic to see whether it safely changes the gut’s bacteria and fungi (your “microbiome”) in people with breast cancer. The researchers want to learn if this shift in gut microbes might support breast cancer treatment or health during care.
This study looks at how gut bacteria affect response to a type of targeted therapy (CDK4/6 inhibitors) combined with hormone therapy in breast cancer that is hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative. It may help find out why some people respond better to treatment and could lead to better personalized care.
This study looks at how breast cancer changes while you are receiving chemotherapy or targeted therapy before surgery. The goal is to better understand which treatments work best for different types of breast cancer.
This study looks at proteins and imaging patterns (from tissue, fluid near the tumor, and blood) to better understand breast cancer markers. It may help researchers find clues that doctors can use to evaluate breast nodules and newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer.
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut to see if they can predict how well chemotherapy or radiation works before surgery for certain cancers. If you have pancreatic, stomach, colon, or esophageal cancer that has spread nearby (but not to distant organs), you may be able to join.
This trial looks at gut bacteria in people having surgery for pancreatic cancer. It aims to understand how these bacteria might affect recovery or treatment outcomes.
