Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
While the risk factors associated with this cancer have not yet been clearly elucidated, recent evidence in the literature agrees that chronic inflammation associated with prostate infection plays a key role as a factor that may promote the development and/or progression of prostate cancer. Most recently, a study shows for the first time that a group of 6 bacteria is found significantly higher in the urine of patients with prostate cancer than in patients with prostate adenoma. Interestingly, clinical microbiology studies conducted at the bacteriology laboratory of the University Hospital of Nice on A. schaalii have shown that this species is also isolated in the urine of patients with bladder and prostate cancers.
The investigators wish to study the association of the 6 bacterial species mentioned above with prostate cancer by directly analyzing the prostate tissue of patients with this condition.
the staff will carry out a multicenter case-control study by recruiting a total of 260 patients in 4 centres (Nice coordinating centre, Marseille, Tours and Nîmes): 130 in the prostate cancer group and 130 in the prostate adenoma control group. This project is a research involving the human person of category 2.
The innovative aspect of the work consists in detecting and quantifying in situ in the prostate tissue the presence of these 6 bacterial species per culture and per PCR in real time, comparing the prostate microbiota in terms of richness and diversity between cancer patients and those without cancer. Ultimately, this study opens up exciting prospects with the possibility of determining a microbial origin of prostate cancer and considering antibiotic therapy for anti-cancer purposes such as H. pylori and gastric cancer.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
cancer group
prostate biopsy
All patients included, will report to the urology department on the date previously agreed with the surgeon. The patient will be seen by the nurse and urologist on duty as part of outpatient care or, more rarely, in ambulatory care. After verification of the patient's identity, the signature of informed consent, the absence of immediate contraindications to biopsy (haemorrhagic and infectious) and the patient's proper preparation (antibiotic prophylaxis and possible enema), the patient will be installed for the taking of samples covered by the protocol (rectal swabbing and prostate biopsies, see paragraph IX). If the patient has not taken the antibiotic prophylaxis or performed the enema, he or she will be reconvened at a later date for the biopsies. After the prostatic biopsies have been performed, the patient's participation in the study ends and his follow-up resumes according to the recommendations adapted to his pathology.
Urinary sampling
It will be collected after the prostate massage performed by the surgeon in charge of the patient during his clinical examination for prostate cancer screening. After elimination of the first draft, the urine will be collected in 2 tubes with borated preservative
Rectal swabbing before biopsies are performed
A rectal swab will then be taken by the urologist on the day the prostate biopsies are taken. The analysis of the digestive microbiota will eliminate contamination of prostate biopsies by bacteria from the faecal flora during transrectal sampling
