Creation of a Bank of Biological Material From Patients and Healthy Donors for the Study of Urological and Uro-oncological Diseases

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are collecting fresh biological materials from patients and healthy donors to support studies on urological and uro-oncological diseases. This includes samples from surgical removals related to conditions of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testicle, and other genitourinary organs. The study aims to understand disease origins, progression, and links to diagnostic markers by analyzing these samples alongside patients' medical histories. Biological samples such as peripheral blood, urine, seminal fluid, buccal mucosa, feces, and saliva are collected when available, especially during patients' first visits, biopsies, or surgeries. This collection creates a valuable biobank that supports ongoing and future research into urological diseases and cancers. The project is observational and involves gathering and storing these samples for detailed analysis. Participants provide samples at hospital visits, and researchers track baseline biological data to study disease mechanisms and progression. The main focus is on collecting and preserving these samples for research rather than testing treatments. The study accommodates adult male and female participants, including healthy volunteers, and follows participants over time to build a comprehensive resource for understanding urological health conditions.
