Bladder carcinoma (BLCA) is characterized by a high rate of post-surgery recurrence and multifocality. Multifocal tumors have a higher risk of recurrence compared to single tumors, significantly impacting bladder cancer-specific mortality. However, the interregional or intraregional heterogeneity within both primary and recurrent tumors remains poorly understood.

Role of cuproptosis has not been well-reported in cancer, especially in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We comprehensively interrogated cuproptotic gene signature in ccRCC by reproducing multi-omics datasets and found cuproptosis was decreased in ccRCC compared with normal kidney.

Method: Genomic data from multiple public datasets (TCGA, etc.
