Abstract
- Human body contains diverse microbes. Different microbes are identified at different organs. Urine was thought as sterile, but according to progression in important technologies like 16S rRNA gene sequencing and expanded quantitative urine culture, it is known that diverse microbes exist in genitourinary tract. Microbiome contains the microbes and surrounding microenvironments. In addition to urologic difficulties like interstitial cystitis or chronic prostatitis, malignancies are thought to be related to microbiomes. In this review, we summarized several studies in urologic malignancies, especially prostate cancer and kidney cancer.
