6 Characterization oral microbiome in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (n = 273) and healthy controls (n = 285) extracted from saliva samples using 16S rRNA gene was PCR amplified - No association were detected for alpha diversity with pancreatic cancer also indication associations between specific taxa and pancreatic cancer
- Increasing relative levels of Haemophilus associated with decreased odds of pancreatic cancer, while found of Enterobacteriaceae, Lachnospiraceae G7, Bacteroidaceae or Staphylococcaceae associated with increased odds of pancreatic cancer
- Found the association between pancreatic cancer and the microbioal community composition (i.e., beta diversity)
Vogtmann et al. (2020)
7 Characterization oral microbiota in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (n = 40), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (n = 39), and controls (n = 58) provided saliva sample surveyed by sequencing of the 16S rRNA microbial genes - PDAC cases found higher levels of Firmicutes and related taxa (Bacilli, Lactobacillales, Streptococcaceae, Streptococcus, Streptococcus thermophilus) compared to controls
- Gammaproteobacteria, Pasteurellales, Pasteurellaceae, Haemophilus, Haemophilus parainfluenzae; and Betaproteobacteria, Neisseriales, Neisseriaceae, Neisseria, Neisseria flaviscens has lower in PDAC but higher levels in controls
- The PDAC and IPMN groups very similar in measures of alpha diversity of the oral microbiota
Olson et al. (2017)
8 Reveal the bacterial composisiton in the microbiota of tongue coating in pancreatic head carcinoma (n = 30) and healthy controls (n = 25) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology - In patient with pancreatic head carcinoma overpresented microbiota than healty controls such as Leptotrichia, Fusobacterium, Rothia, Actinomyces, Corynebacterium, Atopobium, Peptostreptococcus, Catonella, Oribacterium, Filifactor, Campylobacter, Moraxella and Tannerella
- Meanwhile in healthy controls increasing microbiome such as Haemophilus, Porphyromonas, and Paraprevotella

9 Deep sequencing using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) reveals microbiota dysbiosis of tongue coat in patient with liver carcinoma (n = 35) and healthy subjects (n = 25) - Fusobacterium and Oribacterium increase in liver carcinoma than healthy subjects Lu et al. (2016)
10 Variations of salivary microbiota association in patient with lung cancer ((n = 20) including squamos cell carcinoma (SCC) (n = 10) and adenocarcinoma (AC) (n = 10) and control subjects (n = 10) using 16S sequencing analysis - Two bacterial including Capnocytophaga sp., Veillonella sp. distinguishing with SCC from control subjects ROC value 0.86 with 84.6% sensitivity and 86.7% specificity. In patients with AC distinguishing from control subjects with ROC value 0.80, sensitivity 78.6%, and specificity 80% Yan et al. (2015)
11 Identified bacteria biomarkers associated with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) from salivary sample healthy individuals (n = 51) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (n = 197) using 16S rRNA squencing - Fusobacteria increased significantly with the progression of oral cancer from the healthy controls (2.98%) to OSCC stage 1 (4.35%) through stage 4 (7.92%)
- Fusobacterium periodonticum, Parvimonas micra, Streptococcus constellatus, Haemophilus influenza, and Filifactor alocis associated with OSCC, and progressively increased in abundance from stage 1 to stage 4

16 Investigate the characteristics of oral microbiome in gastric cancer from plaques and saliva samples including individuals with gastric cancer (n = 37) and controls (n-13) then sequencing by 16S rRNA gene amplicons - Overall increased microbial diversity in cancer patients
- Oral bacteria are more complex in patients with gastric cancer than the control populations
- One of the strongest risk factors for gastric cancer is detection rate of H. pylori
