Very pleased to see recruitment has started for the @The_MRC#DFPS supported #MAST study, a phase II #RCT of encapsulated #IMT#FMT pre-stem cell transplant in patients with blood cancers to explore the role of manipulating the #microbiome upon health outcomes [🧵1/3]
Fascinating how the microbiome influences not only our risk of developing cancer but how effective treatments are. And we can all take steps to reduce our risk. Thanks to @bhmullish@bowelsurgeon@timspector@DMAILhealth
