Prostate cancer remains challenging to identify and treat early. That is why researchers are working to find the association between microbiome and prostate cancer. Microbiome are microorganisms found in the body in areas such as the mouth, skin, prostate, lungs, and hair.
Prostate cancer is most common among men. Efforts have been made to improve interventions, but many patients still relapse when their conditions resist treatment. New research was conducted to help understand whether a community of bacteria found in the prostate can increase inflammation and increase cancer growth when altered. During the study:
PSA screening is the standard test for identifying prostate cancer in patients, but an invasive biopsy can also be used. High PSA levels can be caused by prostate cancer, although other conditions like prostate inflammation can also elevate PSA levels. Researchers are now exploring the possibility of having a noninvasive marker that will work by analyzing the microbial population of the prostatic fluid. From the sample taken, it was suggested that a microbiome could be used to develop a diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. More research is required to help understand how the microbiome affects prostate cancer.
