Eurofins Genomics helps uncover a groundbreaking link between ovarian cancer and the microbiome. As part of one of the first reports of its kind, Eurofins Genomics was a research partner in a project funded by EU Horizon 2020 and Eve Appeal. The results of the research showed that in women at risk of developing ovarian cancer, or those who may already have ovarian cancer, had a significantly decreased amount of “good” lactobacilli bacteria present in their microbiome. These results could have a significant impact on how ovarian cancer risk may be reduced in the future.
