Gut bacteria and breast cancer tissue study
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut might relate to breast cancer. By comparing tissue samples from your tumor and nearby healthy tissue, researchers hope to find new ways to understand or treat breast cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have breast cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
- You are planning to have surgery to remove the breast cancer.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the 14 days before your surgery.
- You do not have an active infection or fever above 100.4°F (38°C) in the 3 days before surgery.

This study tests whether taking a probiotic supplement affects the bacteria and fungi in your gut, which may be linked to your breast cancer. You'll take a daily probiotic and have your diet and activity stay the same, to see if it helps your body respond to treatment.
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 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 found in the tumor to see if they affect how well chemotherapy or immunotherapy works in treating triple-negative breast cancer. The goal is to find ways to predict treatment response and improve care.
This study looks at gut bacteria in people with colorectal cancer that has spread (metastatic). It aims to find patterns in the bacteria that may help doctors choose better treatments.
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.
