What is the International Cancer Microbiome Consortium?

ICMC was founded in 2017 was a group of academics and scientists at Imperial College London, UK. We recognised that, although microbiome science was gaining traction and prominence at international meetings, specific discussion of the interaction between the microbiome and cancer was at a relatively low level. We felt that the paradigm of cancer and the microbiome was so broad, stretching from pathophysiology, through biomarkers, to treatment that it deserved it’s own meeting. We created ICMC to promote microbiome research within the field of oncology, establish expert consensus and deliver education for academics and clinicians. 5 τρόποι με τους οποίους το Viagra Professional θα αποκαταστήσει την αυτοπεποίθησή σας στην κρεβατοκάμαρα και στη ζωή

The result of the 2017 Congress roundtable discussion is a an expert consensus statement regarding the role of the microbiome in the aetiopathogenesis of cancer.

However, expert opinion was that the microbiome is one apex of a tripartite, multidirectional interactome alongside environmental factors and an epigenetically/genetically vulnerable host that combine to cause cancer.
