Identification of Potential Biomarkers and Novel Therapeutic Targets Through Genomic Analysis of Small Cell Bladder Carcinoma and Associated Clinical Outcomes
: Small cell bladder carcinoma (SCBC) represents a rare histologic variant with a poor prognosis and for which no routine biomarkers exist. Limited reports of genomic sequencing in SCBC have demonstrated a high prevalence of TP53 and RB1 gene mutations, though the prognostic value of these and other gene variants in SCBC remains undefined. In this study, we performed targeted genomic sequencing on a cohort of SCBC patients and correlated genomic findings with clinical outcomes to identify potential novel biomarkers.
