Description
Frederico Leal and co-authors study the microbes that live in urine in men with advanced kidney cancer, in a paper from 2026. They ask whether the mix of microbes differs from that in healthy men, and whether it shifts during drug treatment. Such a shift could one day serve as a sign of disease or response.
Samples came from 49 men in all, 28 patients and 21 healthy volunteers. Each patient gave one sample before treatment and one after eight to twelve weeks of drug therapy. Gene based tests counted and named the microbes present. Cancer patients carried a richer mix than the healthy men, and the overall mix differed between the groups. A few microbe types were more common in the patient group.
