Microbiome subsets determine tumor prognosis and molecular characteristics of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma: a multi-center integrated analysis of microbiome, metabolome, and transcriptome data

Dear editor, Patients with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)potentially have a high recurrence rate of more than 40％[1].Patients receive radical or partial nephrectomy,sometimes assisted by targeted therapies or/and immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs),to improve overall survival(OS)[2].
