One person's waste could be another's shot at fighting cancer. The idea may sound far-fetched, but it is gaining momentum in cancer care. Researchers are testing fecal microbiota transplants as a way of changing the gut's microbes. This could help treatments, such as immunotherapy, work better, and it could be especially significant for hard-to-reach cancers. These fecal microbiota could also help deliver longer-lasting benefits for more patients.
