Immune characterization of urothelial bladder carcinoma integrating transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) samples and serum: A feasibility study.
Abstract:538 Background: Urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) is characterized by high immunogenicity. Multiple immunotherapies both in the perioperative and advanced setting are being developed. However, we lack good predictive biomarkers of response to immunotherapy in UBC. We aimed to characterize the immune profile of UBC patients using TURBT and serum samples. Methods: 13 UBC biopsies from TURBT samples were analyzed along with sera of these patients. Biopsy samples were divided in two equal parts. One part was formal… Show more
