Abstract

Gut microbiota and its interactions with the host immune system play a role in oncogenesis and can alter the effectiveness of anticancer agents.

  • GC is arguably the most intensely affected by gut bacteria owing to their spatial proximity.

    “Among all tumors, GC is arguably the most intensely affected by gut bacteria owing to their spatial proximity, and their associations with the gut microbiome have been intensively investigated [93,94].”

    From Bioinformatics Analysis and Validation of Potential Markers Associated with Prediction and Prognosis of Gastric Cancer (2024) · cites this paper as [93]

    The ‘Dysbiosis and Carcinogenesis’ section says gut bacteria affect colorectal carcinogenesis and influence tumors both locally and systemically. It does not identify gastric cancer (GC) as the most intensely affected tumor or attribute such a ranking to spatial proximity. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
