3D Organoids: An Untapped Platform for Studying Host–Microbiome Interactions in Esophageal Cancers

The microbiome is an emerging key co-factor in the development of esophageal cancer, the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. However, there is a paucity of data delineating how the microbiome contributes to the pathobiology of the two histological subtypes of esophageal cancer: esophageal...
