Dr. Sears on Ongoing Research of Microbiota in CRC

Cynthia L. Sears, MD, professor of Medicine, at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, member of the Bloomberg-Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, discusses ongoing research of microbiota for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

There is a current study investigating 2000 people undergoing a screening colonoscopy at several practices, explains Sears.

This study is looking to establish the epidemiology of biofilm formation in the colon and the longitudinal aspects of it, states Sears.
