Abstract
Standard laboratory cultures and biomarkers for urologic conditions have limitations that have led to great interest in microbiome testing in urology. Microbiome testing may play a role in clinical urology in the future in areas such as diagnosis of infections, biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of functional and oncological conditions, and targeted microbial modulation to augment existing treatment modalities and reduce disease risk.
期刊介绍:
European Urology Focus is a new sister journal to European Urology and an official publication of the European Association of Urology (EAU).
EU Focus will publish original articles, opinion piece editorials and topical reviews on a wide range of urological issues such as oncology, functional urology, reconstructive urology, laparoscopy, robotic surgery, endourology, female urology, andrology, paediatric urology and sexual medicine. The editorial team welcome basic and translational research articles in the field of urological diseases. Authors may be solicited by the Editor directly. All submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by a panel of experts before being considered for publication.
