Safety and Efficacy of Bifidobacterium Therapy in Patients With Advanced Liver Cancer Receiving Immunotherapy

Summary

This study plans to observe the changes of liver cancer and immune cell subsets by replicating the high abundance intestinal flora and liver cancer mouse model, reveal the relationship and mechanism of intestinal flora in the immunotherapy of liver cancer, and study the impact on prognosis by regulating the positive correlation of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria of rumen coccus in patients with advanced liver cancer receiving immunotherapy
