Porphyromonas gingivalis is the primary microbe in the periodontal red complex bacteria (PRCB) along with Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola , which are linked to periodontal disease (PD). These pathogens are also implicated in various systemic disorders, but their association with the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is less explored. A systematic review followed by a meta -analysis was conducted as per standard guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta -Analysis (PRISMA) 2022) to find this association between GI cancers and PRCB after a literature search for full -text papers in the English language (between 2010 and 2023) in databases (Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science) with suitable keywords using the Boolean search strategy. Data extraction involved titles, abstracts, and full texts retrieved and scored by the modified Newcastle -Ottawa Scale. The data were analyzed by the Review Manager (RevMan 5.2, Cochrane Collaboration, Denmark). Standard Cochran Q test and I 2 statistics (for heterogeneity) and a random effects model (pooled OR with 95% CI) were applied to report results. P. gingivalis among the PRCB was linked to GI cancers (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.34-3.47). T. forsythia and T. denticola did not show meaningful associations as per existing evidence for GI cancers.
