However, osteosarcoma-associated oral microbiota alterations have not yet been unraveled.

Principal component analysis delineated that the oral microbial community was significant differences between osteosarcoma patients and healthy controls. 14 genera including Rothia, Halomonas, Rhodococcus, and Granulicatella were remarkably reduced, whereas Alloprevotella, Prevotella, Selenomonas, and Campylobacter were enriched in osteosarcoma. Eventually, the optimal four OTUs were identified to construct a microbial classifier by the random forest model via a fivefold cross-validation, which achieved an area under the curve of 99.44% in the training group (30 osteosarcoma patients versus 60 healthy controls) and 87.33% in the test group (15 osteosarcoma patients versus 30 healthy controls), respectively.
