Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The MA-PPING is a multicenter prospective observational study that includes patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. The study aims to map the oral and gut microbiome of patients diagnosed with pancreatic, esophageal or colorectal cancer during their surgical patient journey from the moment of diagnosis until full recovery (three months after surgery).

Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Compositional changes of the oral and gut microbiome, assessed by alpha-diversity using 16S rRNA (ribosomal ribonucleic acid) sequencing, described in a surgical patient journey from moment of diagnosis until full recovery
- timeFrame
- 4 months
- description
- Changes of the microbiome composition during the surgical treatment quantified as alpha-diversity by 16S rRNA sequencing. Samples will be collected on 7 moments, starting one month before surgery until three months after surgery.
Secondary outcomes (5)
- measure
- Compositional changes of the oral and gut microbiome, assessed by beta-diversity using 16S rRNA sequencing, correlated with neo-adjuvant therapy
- timeFrame
- 1 month
- description
- The effect of neo-adjuvant therapy on microbiome composition quantified as beta-diversity by 16S rRNA sequencing
- measure
- Compositional changes of the oral and gut microbiome, assessed by beta-diversity using 16S rRNA sequencing, correlated with antibiotic prophylaxis
