Development of Urologic Registry for Personalized Medicine in Patients With Urologic Malignant Diseases by Analyzing Microbiome

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.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Correlation between tissue bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    Time frame: within 2 weeks after the surgery

    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

  2. Correlation between plasma bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    Time frame: within 2 weeks after the surgery

    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

  3. Correlation between stool bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    Time frame: within 2 weeks after the surgery

    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

  4. Correlation between urine bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    Time frame: within 2 weeks after the surgery

    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

  1. Correlation of bacteria composition and tumor response assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)

    Time frame: within 10 years after the surgery

    Association between bacteria composition and oncological prognosis, progression, and therapeutic response in urological malignancies
