Urine culture before bladder tumor surgery to prevent fever from infection
This trial checks if doing a urine culture before bladder tumor surgery can help prevent fever from urinary tract infections after surgery. It compares two ways of managing pre-surgery urine testing to see which is more effective in reducing post-surgery infection risks.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07463508Recruiting
Bile acids as markers for testicular germ cell tumors
This study looks at whether levels of bile acids (substances made by your liver) can help doctors understand how testicular germ cell tumors grow and how they respond to treatment. It may help improve future care for people with this type of cancer.
