NCT06612216

Brief Summary

The study aims to investigate the potential mechanisms by which the interaction between the microbiota and tumors leads to the occurrence and development of cancer by collecting clinical information and biological samples from healthy individuals and cancer patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 16S rDNA

    16S rDNA detection is a commonly used method in microbial molecular biology for identification and classification of bacteria. It can identify and classify bacteria.

    2 years (from enrollment to disease progression).

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • microbiota metagenomics

    2 years (from enrollment to disease progression).

  • Untargeted metabolomics

    2 years (from enrollment to disease progression).

Study Arms (6)

healthy individuals and cancer patients

Comparing the microbiota characteristics of healthy individuals and cancer patients, revealing the differences in microbiota between healthy individuals and cancer patients.

Other: No intervention was carried out

Patients with different traditional Chinese medicine cancer toxicity syndrome types

According to the classification of traditional Chinese medicine cancer toxin syndrome types, compare the differences in microbiota between the heat toxin syndrome group, dampness toxin syndrome group, stasis toxin syndrome group, phlegm toxin syndrome group, wind toxin syndrome group, and cold toxin syndrome group in cancer patients, and explore the influence of different cancer toxin syndrome types on microbiota composition.

Other: No intervention was carried out

Patients with different traditional Chinese medicine constitutions

According to the traditional Chinese medicine constitution classification, compare the differences in microbiota among tumor patients with qi stagnation constitution group, phlegm dampness constitution group, damp heat constitution group, blood stasis constitution group, qi deficiency constitution group, yang deficiency constitution group, yin deficiency constitution group, characteristic constitution group, and peaceful constitution group, and explore the influence of different constitution types on the microbiota composition of tumor patients.

Other: No intervention was carried out

Patients with different tumor burden

Divide tumor patients into tumor bearing group and tumor free group, and explore their microbiota characteristics and differential patterns.

Other: No intervention was carried out

Patients with different symptom burdens

According to the MDASI Anderson Symptom Scale, compare the differences in microbiota between individuals with mild and severe symptom burdens, and explore the impact of different symptom burdens on the microbiota composition of cancer patients.

Other: No intervention was carried out

Patients with different treatment and outcome outcomes

Based on the application of different treatment methods and the resulting outcomes in cancer patients, compare the characteristic differences of microbiota between groups and explore the differential expression of microbiota.

Other: No intervention was carried out

Interventions

This study observed differences in microbiota among different groups and therefore did not involve intervention.
