Brief Title: Development of Urologic Registry for Personalized Medicine in Patients With Urologic Malignant Diseases by Analyzing Microbiome
Official Title: Development of Urologic Registry for Personalized Medicine in Patients With Urologic Malignant Diseases by Analyzing Microbiome
Study ID: NCT04625556
Brief Summary: 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.
