Get somebody's kidney, put it in somebody else's body who needs a kidney, and then you're hoping that the body accepts it.

That actually happens again with our transplants as well.

The process is the scientific term for it is fecal microbiota transplant, which is a mouthful, or FMT.

Exactly meaning that you're getting stool from someone, processing the microbiome, putting it in somebody else.

Now, if that new microbiome takes, now what happens is that it starts to communicate with the immune system.

And why that is important in cancer patients?

Because a lot of drugs we are using today for cancer treatment work through the immune system, through activating the immune system.

They don't directly cure cancer, such as the chemotherapy drugs used to do.

And now you're giving it immunotherapy as well.
