Microbiota alterations associated with metastatic progression in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Evidence from urine and paired tumor tissues
This study reveals that while renal cell carcinoma patients exhibit distinct urinary microbiota changes, significant microbial dysbiosis and the enrichment of *Treponema* are primarily localized within the tumor microenvironment of metastatic patients, suggesting a compartment-specific microbial signature associated with disease progression.
