Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) has a poor prognosis, despite recent therapeutic advancements. Prostaglandin Reductase 1 (PTGR1) is essential for activating acylfulvens, a promising class of drugs for treating a subset of urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients. The efficacy of acylfulvens depends on PTGR1 activity and defects in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, notably ERCC2 mutations...
