(Nasdaq: BDSX), a leading data-driven diagnostic solutions company with a focus in lung disease, and Addario Lung Cancer Medical Institute (ALCMI) today announced they will present on the progress of Biomarker Analysis in High PD-L1 Expressing NSCLC Patients Treated With PD-1/PD-L1 Based Therapy With or Without the Addition of Platinum Based Chemotherapy (BEACON-Lung). The BEACON-Lung study aims to evaluate biomarkers to predict overall survival and early progression outcomes in treatment-naïve advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with high PD-L1 expression. The first patient participant enrolled in the study this week.
A new Northwestern University study found that specific types of gut bacteria can protect other good bacteria from cancer treatments mitigating harmful, drug-induced changes to the gut microbiome. By metabolizing chemotherapy drugs, the protective bacteria could temper short- and long-term side effects of treatment.

Washington [US], May 26 (ANI): A new Northwestern University study found that naturally occurring gut bacteria can clean up chemo toxins in the body.
The study says that specific types of gut bacteria can protect other good bacteria from cancer treatments mitigating harmful, drug-induced changes to the gut microbiome. By metabolising chemotherapy drugs, the protective bacteria could temper short- and long-term side effects of treatment. The research was published on May 26 in the journal mSphere.
Eventually, the research could potentially lead to new dietary supplements, probiotics or engineered therapeutics to help boost cancer patients gut health. Because chemotherapy-related microbiome changes in children are linked to health complications later in life including obesity, asthma and diabetes discovering new strategies for prote
