Bladder cancer incurs a higher lifetime treatment cost than other cancers due to frequent recurrence of non-invasive disease. Improved prognostic biomarkers and localized therapy are needed for this large patient group. We defined two major genomic subtypes of primary stage Ta tumors. One of these was characterized by loss of 9q including TSC1, increased KI67 labeling index, upregulated glycolysis, DNA repair, mTORC1 signaling, features of the unfolded protein response, and altered cholesterol homeostasis. Comparison with muscle-invasive bladder cancer mutation profiles revealed lower overall mutation rates and more frequent mutations in RHOB and chromatin modifier genes. More mutations in the histone lysine demethylase KDM6A were present in non-invasive tumors from females than males.

Teaser

By analyzing 140 primary patient samples, Hurst et al. identify two genomic subtypes of stage Ta non-invasive bladder cancer. The more genomically unstable subtype is distinguished by loss of chromosome 9q sequences, upregulated mTORC1 signaling, and altered metabolic profile. They also find that females have a higher frequency of KDM6A mutations than males.
