What this Trial Is About

Researchers are establishing a biobank by collecting and preserving biological samples from fertile men, specifically those with previous parenthood and normal sperm parameters. This collection focuses on samples obtained from surgical removals of common urological tumors, as well as peripheral blood and other fluids like urine and semen when possible. The goal is to support studies on tumor origins, progression mechanisms, and individual therapy responses through this valuable resource. The study involves observational sampling from fertile male participants, including outpatient sample collection after biopsy or surgery. Biological materials such as tumor tissues and various bodily fluids will be gathered and conserved to create this comprehensive biobank. This approach aims to facilitate future research into the biological characteristics and prognostic significance of the collected materials. Participants will provide samples during outpatient visits or surgical procedures, with data recorded at baseline to assess the prognostic role of the biological materials. The biobank will enable detailed pathophysiological studies and support investigations into tumor markers and therapy responses. The study is open to men aged 18 to 60 who are naturally fertile and normospermic, with participation spanning from initial sample collection onward.
