The emerging landscape of germline variants in urothelial carcinoma: Implications for genetic testing

Abstract excerpt

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder and upper tract (ureter, renal pelvis) is one of the most frequently occurring malignancies. While the majority of UC are chemically induced by smoking, accumulating evidence from genetic studies have demonstrated a small, but consistent impact of heritable gene variants and family history of UC on the development of the disease. Beyond the established association between...
