Chemoradiotherapy can affect the composition of the gut microbiota in HNSCC patients during the mid-term of treatment. Yet self-stabilized ability maintained the gut microbiota homeostasis. Dynamic change of specific species could help predict acute oral mucositis grade and characterize different quality of life group in these patients.
