Frog Gut Microbe
Frog Gut Microbe is a experimental microbiome-derived anticancer research topic based on reports that a frog-associated gut microbe or its products may have tumor-related biological effects. In cancer care, it should be evaluated by evidence level, intended use, safety, interactions, and whether it is being used as conventional treatment, supportive care, an experimental adjunct, or an alternative claim.
