Abstract | The existence of microbiome in human tumors has been determined widely, but evaluating the contribution of intratumoral bacteria and fungi to tumor immunity and prognosis from a pan-cancer perspective remains absent. We designed an improved microbial analysis pipeline to reduce interference from host sequences, complemented with integration analysis of intratumoral microbiota at species level with clinical indicators, tumor microenvironment, and prognosis across cancer types. We found that intratumoral microbiota is associated with immunophenotyping, with high-immunity subtypes showing greater bacterial and fungal richness compared to lowimmunity groups. We also noted that the combination of fungi and bacteria demonstrated promising prognostic value across cancer types. We, thus, present The Cancer Microbiota (TCMbio), an interactive platform that provides the intratumoral bacteria and fungi data, and a comprehensive analysis module for 33 types of cancers. This led to the discovery of clinical and prognostic significance of intratumoral microbes. |
