Abnormal colonization of C. albicans and M. furfur can promote HCC development. A Schematic diagram of the oral gavage intervention protocol using phosphate-buffered saline, C. albicans or M. furfur for C57BL/6 mice (6 mice per group). The images of tumor-bearing mice B and tumor masses C. Tumor volume D and weight E were compared among the three groups at the end of the experiment. F Representative images of subcutaneous tumor among the three groups immunostained with Ki67 (200 ×). G Quantification of Ki67 + cells. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used
