The microbiome of cervical cancer: exploring the link between bacteria and tumor Khiem Lam BioResource Research Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR Andrey Morgun, MD, PhD College of Pharmacy Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR What is cervical cancer? • A malignant tumor of the cervix • Fourth common cancer in Cervical Cancer women worldwide • Caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/hpv/statistics/cases.htm Most HPV infections do not lead to cervical cancer HPV infection is necessary but not sufficient in causing cervical cancer. Shulzhenko, et al., 2014 Role of bacteria in driving human cancer http://www.pyroenergen.com/articles13/images/gastric-ulcer-pylori.jpg Previous models of cervical cancer show specific host gene expression patterns and role of HPV, but has not explored role of other microbes (bacteria) What is the role of microbiota in cervical cancer?
