Purpose: Up to 50% of high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) patients fail Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment, resulting in a high risk of progression and poor clinical outcomes. Biomarkers that predict outcomes after BCG are lacking. The antitumor effects of BCG are driven by a cytotoxic T cell response, which may be controlled by immune checkpoint proteins like Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1).

Limited research into the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) for bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC), particularly the neglect of the intratumoral microbiota, has hindered the development of immunotherapies targeting BUC. Here, we collect 401 patients with BUC with host transcriptome samples and matched tumor microbiome samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Besides, two independent BUC cohorts receiving immunotherapy were obtained.

Objective: Our study assessed the correlation between discrepancies in clinical and pathological T stages and overall survival (OS) in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), including renal pelvis (UCP) and ureter (UCU) carcinoma, treated with radical surgery.
Methods: We utilized data from the Japanese Hospital-Based Cancer Registry (HBCR) to identify UTUC cases (n = 2376), consisting of UCP cases (n = 1196) and UCU cases (n = 1180), diagnosed with cTa-3N0M0 between 2012 and 2013. All cases were histologically confirmed and treated solely with radical surgery, excluding any chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Introduction: Gastroenterocolitis is one of the adverse events related to immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, inflammation of the intestinal lesion used for urinary diversion is not well known as an adverse event related to their use.
Case Presentation: A patient with metastatic bladder cancer was administered pembrolizumab as second-line treatment.

Bladder cancer is the 10th most common and 13th most deadly cancer worldwide, with urothelial carcinomas being the most common type. Distinguishing between non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is essential due to significant differences in management and prognosis. MRI may play an important diagnostic role in this setting.
