We previously reported Minichromosome maintenance 4 (MCM4) overexpression in gastric cancer. However, the clinicopathological significance of MCM4 urothelial carcinoma (UC) has not been investigated. To clarify UC, we investigated expression with immunohistochemistry (IHC).We analyzed and distribution 124 upper tract (UTUC) samples by IHC. Additionally, using 108 urine samples, Immunocytochemistry (ICC) cytology.In normal urothelium, was weak or absent. Meanwhile, strong nuclear observed UTUC tissues, it detected 77 (62%) a total cases. MCM4-positive cases were associated nodular/flat morphology, high grade, T stage, poor prognosis. Moreover, significantly higher invasive front than tumor surface. Similar results also obtained TCGA bladder cancer cohort. Ki-67, HER2, EGFR, p53 UTUC. Among representative cancer-related molecules, had an independent predictive value for progression-free survival high-grade UC. ICC performed on cytology slides showed that more frequently found UC cells non-neoplastic cells. The diagnostic accuracy improved combining immunostaining cytology.These suggest might be useful biomarker histology, progression prognosis helpful detection as additional markers cytomorphology-based diagnosis.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase murine double minute 2 (MDM2) binds the p53 transcriptional activation domain and acts as a potent inhibitor of TP53 pathway, one three most crucial oncogenic pathways in urothelial carcinoma (UC). However, clinical significance impact on tumor immune contexture MDM2 amplification UC remain unclear. This study analyzed 240 patients with matched annotations from two local cohorts (ZSHS cohort FUSCC cohort). We assessed correlation between status outcomes, therapeutic efficacy, immunological characteristics by immunohistochemical analysis targeted sequencing. Additionally, 2264 samples five independent external cohorts, genomic, transcriptomic, data, were used for validation.

Background Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy holds promise in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) mutation drives T-cell-depleted microenvironment UC, which led to the hypothesis that FGFR3 might attenuate response ICB patients with UC. The study aims compare prognosis and between FGFR3-mutated FGFR3-wildtype UC after therapy, decode potential molecular mechanisms. Methods Based on single-arm, multicenter, phase 2 trial, IMvigor210, we conducted a propensity score matched (PSM) analysis. After 1:1 ratio PSM method, 39 treated atezolizumab were enrolled. A meta-analysis through systematical database retrieval was for validation. In addition, performed single-cell RNA sequencing three tumors analyzed 58,069 single cells. Results analysis indicated had worse overall survival (OS) comparison (HR=2.11, 95% CI=(1.16 3.85), p=0.015) receiving atezolizumab. median OS 9.2 months (FGFR3-mutated) versus 21.0 (FGFR3-wildtype). lower disease control rate than (41.0% vs 66.7%, p=0.023). involving 938 confirmed associated (HR=1.28, CI=(1.04 1.59), p=0.02). Single-cell transcriptome identified carried stronger immunosuppressive compared exhibited less immune infiltration, T-cell cytotoxicity. Higher TREM2+ macrophage abundance can undermine suppress T cells, potentially contributing formation of an microenvironment. Lower inflammatory-cancer-associated fibroblasts recruited chemokines antitumor immunity but expressed factors promote malignant cell development. cells characterized by high hypoxia/metabolism low interferon phenotype. Conclusions carries Inhibition activate microenvironment, combination FGFR inhibitor targeted be promising therapeutic regimen providing important implications clinical management.

Purpose: To establish a clinically applicable genomic clustering system, we investigated the interactive landscape of driver mutations in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: The data 1481 ICCs from diverse populations was analyzed to investigate pair-wise co-occurrences or mutual exclusivities among recurrent mutations. Clinicopathological features and outcomes were compared different clusters. Gene expression DNA methylation profiling datasets molecular distinctions mutational ICC cell lines with gene mutation backgrounds used evaluate cluster specific biological behaviors drug sensitivities. Results: Statistically significant mutation-pairs identified across 21 combinations genes. Seven most (TP53, KRAS, SMAD4, IDH1/2, FGFR2-fus BAP1) showed could aggregate into three genetic clusters: Cluster1: represented by tripartite interaction TP53 SMAD4 mutations, exhibited large bile duct histological phenotype high CA19-9 level dismal prognosis; Cluster2: co-association IDH/BAP1 FGFR2-fus/BAP1 mutation, characterized small phenotype, low optimal Cluster3: mutation-free cases intermediate clinicopathological features. These clusters distinct traits, responses therapeutic drugs. Finally, S100P KRT17 as "cluster-specific", "lineage-dictating" "prognosis-related" biomarkers, which combination well stratify Cluster3 two biologically subtypes. Conclusions: This system can be instructive prognostic stratification, classification, optimization.

Diagnosis and risk stratification are cornerstones of therapeutic decisions in the management patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Diagnostic modalities provide data that can be integrated, to nomograms tools predict survival adverse outcomes. This study reviews cytology, ureterorenoscopy novel techniques used it (including photodynamic diagnosis, narrow-band imaging, optical coherence tomography, confocal laser endomicroscopy), biopsy. Imaging biomarkers discussed another article. Patient- tumor-related prognostic factors, their association indices, roles different scores predictive discussed. Patient-related factors include age, sex, ethnicity, tobacco consumption, surgical delay, sarcopenia, nutritional status, several blood-based markers. Tumor-related prognosticators comprise stage, grade, presentation, location, multifocality, size, lymphovascular invasion, margins, lymph node mutational landscape, architecture, histologic variants, tumor-stroma ratio. The accuracy validation pre-operative tools, which incorporate various muscle-invasive or non-organ confined disease, help decide on surgery type (radical nephroureterectomy, kidney-sparing procedures) also investigated. Post-operative nomograms, adjuvant chemotherapy plan follow-up explored. Finally, a revision current UTUC is endorsed.
