About this trial
Genitourinary malignancies such as prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, and bladder cancer in Korean population have been increased due to the aged population and the westernized lifestyles. With the advancement of technologies, studies have found that microbiome not only affects human physiological functions, such as metabolism, immunity, and haematopoiesis, but also plays a significant role in the development and progression of malignancies. However, the investigation of microbiome in urological malignances have been limited and few studies have been reported. Therefore, the investigator tried to evaluate the usefulness of microbiome in detection and monitoring of urological malignancies in Korean population. This study aims to use microbiome in tissue, plasma, stool and urine for the diagnosis, disease progression monitoring and therapeutic response evaluation. This study plan includes building big databases for microbiome of urological malignancies in Korean population.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Correlation between tissue bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies
evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in tissue samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group
Correlation between plasma bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies
evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in plasma samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group
Correlation between stool bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies
evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in stool samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group
Correlation between urine bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies
evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in urine samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group
Secondary outcomes
Correlation of bacteria composition and tumor response assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Association between bacteria composition and oncological prognosis, progression, and therapeutic response in urological malignancies
