R
Roberto Pili, MD

Primary Investigator

Overview

The purpose of this study is to collect a urine sample from patients with prostate and urothelial (bladder) cancer and healthy volunteers who do not have cancer, so that researchers can perform studies on microcellular structures called exosomes that may lead to a new type of urinary biomarker test for prostate and urothelial cancer.
