Abstract

A complex and often under-appreciated relationship exists between the human microbiome, diet, and the development or progression of cancer. There is likewise an emerging appreciation for the role that the human-associated microbiota play in mediating cancer treatment response. This seminar series covers our current understanding of the interplay between the microbiome and cancer in genitourinary malignancies inclusive of bladder, kidney, and prostate cancers.
