As such, we performed multi-omic analysis of UTUC tumors to identify molecular features associated with disease recurrence and response to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB).<h3>Methods</h3>Targeted DNA and whole transcriptome RNA sequencing was performed on 100 UTUC tumors collected from patients undergoing nephroureterectomy. Consensus non-negative matrix factorization was used to identify molecular clusters associated with clinical outcomes. Gene set enrichment and immune deconvolution analyses were performed. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis was employed for unsupervised identification of gene networks in each cluster.<h3>Key findings and limitations</h3>Five molecular clusters with distinct clinical outcomes were identified. Favorable subtypes (C1 and C2) were characterized by a luminal-like signature and an immunologically depleted tumor microenvironment (TME). Subtype C3 was characterized by <em>FGFR3</em> alterations and a higher tumor mutational burden, and included all tumors with microsatellite instability. Despite higher rates of recurrence and inferior survival, subtypes C4 and C5 harbored an immunologically rich TME favoring response to ICB. Limitations include extrapolation of molecular features of tumors from the primary site to determine response to systemic immunotherapy and the limited resolution of bulk sequencing to distinguish gene expression in the tumor, stroma, and immune compartments.<h3>Conclusions and clinical implications</h3>RNA sequencing identified previously underappreciated UTUC molecular heterogeneity and suggests that UTUC patients at the highest risk of metastatic recurrence following surgery include those most likely to benefit from perioperative ICB.","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":"247 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142642699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed a secondary analysis of MIRAGE, a phase 3 randomized clinical trial of MRI-guided SBRT for prostate cancer, to determine whether AMR with MRI guidance significantly reduced 2-yr physician-scored or patient-reported toxic effects in comparison to CT guidance. The cumulative incidence of 2-yr physician-scored toxicity, defined as grade ≥2 genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxic effects according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03, were lower with MRI guidance. Cumulative incidence rates of late grade ≥2 toxicity at 2 yr with MRI-guided versus CT-guided SBRT were 27% (95% confidence interval [CI] 19–39%)] versus 51% (95% CI 41–63%) for GU toxicity (<em>p</em> = 0.004), and 1.4% (95% CI 0.2–9.6) versus 9.5% (95% CI 4.6–19) for GI toxicity (<em>p</em> = 0.025). Cumulative logistic regression revealed that MRI-guided SBRT was associated with significantly lower odds of a clinically relevant deterioration in bowel function according to the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite-26 score (odds ratio 0.444, 95% CI 0.209–0.942; <em>p</em> = 0.035) and in the Sexual Health Inventory in Men score (odds ratio 0.366, 95% CI 0.148–0.906; <em>p</em> = 0.03). There were no significant differences in the odds of a deterioration for other quality-of-life metrics. These findings support the hypothesis that aggressive planning for margin reduction for prostate SBRT using MRI leads to continued reductions in toxic effects over 2-yr follow-up.This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier as NCT04384770.","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":"11251 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142601206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent decades have seen an unexplained increase in incidence. This review investigates the changing epidemiology of TGCT and identifies key risk factors.<h3>Methods</h3>A systematic review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses 2020 statement was conducted. After screening and risk-of-bias assessment, 53 reports on significant and updated topics on TGCT epidemiology and risk factors were included for narrative synthesis. Of these, 26 were selected for quantitative synthesis.<h3>Key findings and limitations</h3>Projections suggest a continued increase in global TGCT incidence, even in populations with historically low incidence. Genetic predisposition, particularly single-nucleotide polymorphisms, accounts for approximately 44% of TGCT heritability. In utero exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, cryptorchidism, infertility, high height, behavioral factors such as marijuana consumption, and environmental or occupational exposures to potentially harmful substances are associated with higher TGCT risk, with variable strength of evidence. Meta-analyses confirmed a significant association between prenatal/early-life risk factors and TGCT incidence (odds ratio 1.44). Limitations include constrained evidence quality, heterogeneity in study types, and a limited volume of data supporting each topic.<h3>Conclusions and clinical implications</h3>TGCT pathogenesis is influenced by genetic predisposition and exposures during early life. The rising incidence may reflect socioeconomic changes and migration patterns, which determine variation in population exposure to risk factors. TGCT epidemiology remains controversial and requires further research and the implementation of optimal screening programs considering the rising incidence and consequent impact on global health and socioeconomic systems.<h3>Advancing practice</h3><strong><em>What does this study add</em>?</strong> .<h3>Patient summary</h3>.","PeriodicalId":12223,"journal":{"name":"European urology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142609766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
