Impact of Pelvic Radiotherapy on Gut Microbiota of Gynecological Cancer Patients Revealed by Massive Pyrosequencing
Figure 1
Comparison of bacterial communities between healthy individuals and patients.
Relative abundances of six phylum-level taxa are compared (A). Each bar represents the mean value of abundance (± SEM). P-values showing the significance of differences between cancer patient and healthy individual groups are shown at the upper part of each graph. Overall species-level bacterial communities were compared and clustered by the UPGMA algorithm (B) and visualized by PCoA plots (C) with the Jaccard coefficient; RI, RK, RL, RM, RN, and RO represent healthy individuals, and AT0 to IT0 represents gynecological cancer patients before radiotherapy.
