Gastrointestinal Lymphoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a observational study on the fecal microbiota in primary/secondary gastrointestinal lymphoma patients.
Detailed description
This observation study is aimed at investigating the gut microbiota alteration in gastrointestinal lymphoma (GIL) patients by performing metagenomic shotgun sequencing on GIL patients' fecal specimen. Before immuno-chemotherapy, the feces specimen of GIL would be collected and stored for further laboratory examination. This study would NOT alter the subsequential treatment of the patients.
Interventions
