Great./s Now the people who told me that drinking baking soda in water would cure my cancer "because cancer is a fungus" are going to go wild over this.
EDIT: I found an article in English:

This supports the thesis that cancer can be a byproduct of your microbiome
Anytime you perform a sequencing experiment you will get _some_ microbial/fungal contamination. Every time. You can even check this yourself today. Analyse any publicly available (unprocessed) whole genome sequencing data. Usually the contamination is This study hasn’t ruled out contamination as the cause for the results. Given that, it’s very likely to be BS.
As much as I would love to be able to do this, I’m unsure where to start, and while I’m certain there would be a stackoverflow community for it, I wouldn’t even know what to ask.
I know this sounds like a joke comment, but I feel like we live in a time where someone could post some Jupyter notebooks on the matter, and for someone to create a step by step video on YouTube to guide people through the process.
This isn't terribly surprising since one of the first things a cancerous tumor does (often) is create an "cold" immune environment to evade detection by the hosts immune system. This is why certain infections can actually kill a tumor: no immune system to kill the new pathogen and it ends up destroying the cancerous cells.

Do doctors ever purposely infect someone to fight cancer?

Are there not also sometimes fungi in non-cancerous human tissues?
There are around 50 fungi in our guts alone[1]. >Mahmoud Ghannoum, Ph.D., an NIH-funded researcher since 1993, who’s spent his career studying fungi in the body (there are about 50 different species living in our gut specifically). Dr. Ghannoum is credited with uncovering the significant interplay between bacteria and fungi, which affects the critical balance of the body’s microbiome. (Much of this interaction occurs…
