A generalizable cross-continent prediction of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma using the oral microbiome

Abstract

Our results show that the oral microbiome in individuals with ESCC is distinct from controls and that this signal can generalize across unseen samples, suggesting the potential of saliva to serve as a non-invasive screening tool for ESCC.
