Genomic Characterization of Upper-Tract Urothelial Carcinoma in Patients With Lynch Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Purpose Patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) have a significantly increased risk of developing upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Here, we sought to identify differences in the patterns of mutational changes in LS-associated versus sporadic UTUCs. Patients and Methods We performed targeted sequencing of 17 UTUCs from patients with documented LS-associated germline mutations (LS-UTUCs) using the Memorial Sloan...
