Family challenges denial of major surgery for 66-year-old with stage 3 bowel cancer

A 66-year-old woman diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer in November 2024 was denied major pelvic surgery at two hospitals due to concerns about the risks and potential impact on her quality of life. With chemotherapy ruled out because of infections, she underwent radiotherapy, but she continues to face hospital visits, a stoma, and urinary drainage alongside recurrent infections and sepsis, prompting her daughter to dispute the decision and argue surgery could improve her mother’s life.

Mouse gut bacteria linked to sepsis severity, study finds

A Nature study in mice shows that gut microbiome composition, especially Muribaculaceae abundance, correlates with sepsis severity: mice with higher gut bacterial load exhibit a stronger early inflammatory response and more bacteria in blood and organs, suggesting the microbiome may signal immune reactions before infection and that antibiotic-induced dysbiosis could worsen outcomes; human trials are needed.
