Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Microbes inhabiting the urinary tract that are playing an important role in maintenance of health and the development of diseases and bladder cancer. There is correlation between initiation of bladder cancer and microbes. Urine and bladder tissues from healthy individuals and patients with bladder cancer were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, results show abundant phylum. Next-generation sequencing technologies will be applied with whole genomic and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing for microbiota profiling in urine and bladder tissue of male healthy individuals and patients with bladder cancer. Results will lead to prevention, diagnosis, and new treatment strategies for bladder cancer.

- description
- Samples: Total number of studied samples: The study will explore the microbiota in urine and in tissue samples, so every patient with bladder cancer will give (2 samples). The control group will give urine sample ( one samble). Group I: Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer,16 patients, 16 for bladder tissue, and 16 for urine samples. Total 32 samples. (The study will explore the microbiota in urine and in tissue samples, so every patient with bladder cancer will give (2 samples). The control group will give urine sample (1 samble). Group II: Muscle invasive bladder cancer, 11 patients. 22 samples 11 for bladder tissue and 11 for urine samples obtained from the same patients. Group III: 11 Normal adults: urine samples from serves as control group of the study. Total number of participants is 38 individuals.
