Prognostic Biomarkers in Patients With Urothelial Carcinoma

Completed
Conditions
Bladder Cancer
Registration Number
NCT04872036
Lead Sponsor
Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
Brief Summary

Bladder cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous malignancy with dismal outcome.Despite treatment, the 5-year overall survival rates for MIBC are \<50%, with many patients unresponsive or inapt, necessitating biomarkers to select those most likely to respond or fit for treatment

Detailed Description

In this study was assessed the associations among most frequently mutated genes and with clinicopathological features, as well as the prognostic significance of the presence of mutations in the top mutated and DNA Damage response (DDR) mutated genes in terms of Overall Survival (OS). Moreover, overall tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) density was measured, analyzed immunohistochemically the expression of PD-L1, the four MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2) and tumor or stromal CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte infiltrates and assessed their association with each other, top mutated genes and available clinicopathological parameters together with their role in prognosis.
