Researchers at The Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a test for urine, gathered during a routine procedure, to detect DNA mutations identified
with urothelial cancers.

AA is implicated in multiple cancer types, sometimes
with very high mutational burdens, especially in upper tract
urothelial cancers (UTUCs).
The patients all had advanced
urothelial cancer that had already been treated
with platinum - based chemotherapy.
Of 56 patients
with upper tract
urothelial cancer, 75 percent tested positive using UroSEEK, including 79 percent of those
with noninvasive tumors.
UroSEEK uses urine samples to seek out mutations in 11 genes or the presence of abnormal numbers of chromosomes that would indicate the presence of DNA associated
with bladder cancer or upper tract
urothelial cancer (UTUC).

Urothelial Carcinoma

Urothelial Cancer
Alterations to DDR genes were associated
with improved outcomes in patients
with metastatic
urothelial carcinoma who were treated
with immunotherapy.
An Open Label, Multicenter, Single Arm Phase II Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Tolerability of the Novel mTOR Inhibitor, MLN0128 (TAK - 228), in Patients
with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the
Urothelial Tract whose Tumors Harbor a TSC1 and / or a TSC2 Mutation
The designation is specifically for patients
with locally advanced or metastatic
urothelial cancer who have previously been treated
with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
April 4, 2016 Precision medicine brings new hope to those
with advanced
urothelial cancer Five of six patients
with advanced metastatic
urothelial cancer and at least one of two specific genetic abnormalities, responded to treatment
with afatinib, which was approved in 2013 by the Food and Drug Administration for patients
with lung cancer, researchers report online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Participants have been asked to take part in this research study because they have metastatic or surgically unresectable
urothelial cancer
with FGF / FGFR alterations.
The main purpose of this study is to assess how metastatic or surgically unresectable
urothelial carcinoma
with FGF / FGFR alterations responds to treatment
with the study drug, INCB054828.
We are also examining how gene expression changes caused by chromatin modifier mutations interact
with other commonly mutated pathways in
urothelial cancers such as RTK - RAS - RAF and PI3K - AKT - MTOR to influence therapeutic response and resistance.
No expansion cohort in pancreatic cancer is being conducted, but phase II expansions are now ongoing in patients
with NSCLC, SCCHN,
urothelial carcinoma, melanoma, gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer, and triple - negative breast cancer.
