SMR 2024 | Microbiome modulation strategies in melanoma therapy

Saman Maleki • 22 Oct 2024
SMR 2024
Melanoma Skin Cancer

Saman Maleki, PhD, Lawson Health Research Institute, London, Canada, provides an overview of various approaches to modulating the microbiome in melanoma. Methods include dietary changes, though challenging for long-term adherence, and the use of limited probiotics to introduce specific strains to the gut. Additionally, fecal microbial transplantation is highlighted as a more comprehensive method to reset the gut microbiome, drawing parallels with its established role in treating refractory C. difficile infections. This interview took place at the 21st International Congress of the Society for Melanoma Research (SMR) in New Orleans, LA.
