Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics, gene expression profiles, mutational analysis, and clinical outcomes of pure and mixed small‐cell carcinoma of the bladder

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Small cell bladder carcinoma (SCBC) is a rare, divergent form of urothelial carcinoma (UC). We aimed to determine whether pure (n = 16) and mixed (SCBC and UC; n = 30) tumours differed in pathology, gene expression characteristics, genetic alterations, and clinical outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty (87%) patients received first-line chemotherapy. Twenty-nine patients had no metastatic disease at...
