This disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and despite effective treatment options for early-stage disease, patients with PMP often relapse. Thus, there is a need for additional treatment options to reduce relapse rate and increase long-term survival. A previous study identified the presence of both typed and non-culturable bacteria associated with PMP tissue and determined that increased bacterial density was associated with more severe disease. These findings highlighted the possible role for bacteria in PMP disease.; Keywords: PMP, Pseudomyxoma peritonei, Peritoneal cancer, Microbiome, Microbiota.; Springer Open. %[ 2018-10-11 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
