The discovery may lead to ways to spot and even prevent dangerous tumours, experts hope.
Scientists say they have identified urine bacteria which are linked to aggressive prostate cancer.It's too soon to say if the bacteria might cause the cancer, rather than just be a helpful marker.
The challenge is diagnosing and quickly treating men who have the aggressive, fast-growing ones that harm, while sparing others from unnecessary treatment. All were types of bacteria that can grow without oxygen. Some were brand new types, never found until now. "But we hope that our findings and future work could lead to new treatment options, that could slow or prevent aggressive prostate cancer from developing. Our work could also lay the foundations for new tests that use bacteria to predict the most effective treatment for each man's cancer."
