    The evolving landscape and clinical utility of circulating tumor DNA across the spectrum of urothelial carcinoma: A systematic review and framework for clinical integration. (PubMed, Cancer)
    Stage-tailored strategies are emerging, including risk assessment in NMIBC, refining adjuvant decisions in MIBC, and treatment monitoring in mUC. Integration of ctDNA-guided approaches should proceed alongside prospective validation to ensure safe and effective adoption.

    Comprehensive Genomic Characterization Between Urothelial Carcinoma Subtypes/Divergent Differentiation (S/DD) and Pure Urothelial Carcinoma Using a Large-Scale Japanese Genomic Panel Dataset. (PubMed, Int J Urol)
    Using a large-scale Japanese genomic panel dataset, we characterized the molecular alterations associated with S/DD. S/DD frequently exhibits low Nectin-4 expression and basal-like molecular features, which may have implications for treatment selection and inform future therapeutic strategies.

    Genomic analysis of BCG unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer identifies drivers of sensitivity to intravesical Gemcitabine/Docetaxel. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
    In contrast, tumors that do not respond to chemotherapy harbor different genetic changes that help them survive and grow. These findings may help physicians choose more effective and personalized treatments in the future.

    Decoding polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young (PLNTY): Electroclinical features and molecular signatures in epilepsy surgery candidates. (PubMed, Epilepsia)
    This study confirms that, despite its name, PLNTY is not limited to pediatric patients. Findings underscore the highly epileptogenic nature of PLNTY and its recognizable electroclinical features, potentially related to its distinctive neuropathology. Most PLNTYs show mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway activating alterations, demonstrated by BRAFV600E mutation and FGFR3 fusion.

    Radiogenomic analysis of muscle-invasive bladder cancer using CT-based texture analysis. (PubMed, Bladder Cancer)
    Our study demonstrates that CT-derived radiomics features can capture biologically and clinically relevant information in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. These findings support the potential utility of radiomics as a noninvasive, scalable adjunct to genomic profiling in MIBC.

    Improving Long-Term Monitoring in NMIBC: Digital Uromonitor® (dUM) as a Complementary Tool to Cystoscopy for Two-Year Recurrence Risk Stratification. (PubMed, Actas Urol Esp (Engl Ed))
    dUM provides robust, reproducible prognostic information and significantly improves molecular risk stratification in NMIBC. These findings support its potential integration into risk-adapted surveillance strategies, pending validation in larger populations.

    An integrated molecular classification system identifies distinct prognostic clusters of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. (PubMed, Funct Integr Genomics)
    Using transcriptomic profiles, a single-sample classifier was developed to categorize tumors into integrated molecular clusters. This study provides an integrated classification system to understand the heterogeneity of NMIBC and establish a preclinical framework for clinical management, therapeutic targets, and monitoring of clinical trials.

    Urothelial Carcinoma in Children and Young Adults is Characterized by Higher Frequency of HRAS Mutations and Lower Prevalence of TERT Promoter and FGFR3 Mutations. (PubMed, Am J Surg Pathol)
    FGFR3 mutation was not detected in any of the cases. Urothelial carcinomas occurring in children and young adults exhibit a distinct molecular profile compared with those in older patients, characterized by a higher frequency of HRAS mutations and a significantly lower prevalence of TERT promoter and FGFR3 alterations.

    Development of an extended version of GALEAS bladder: Detection of FGFR3 fusions in urine and associations between genomic alterations and gene expression. (PubMed, Bladder Cancer)
    This is a proof-of-principle study, rather than definitive evidence of utility as a companion diagnostic, with the need for fusion detection validation in larger patient cohorts. In addition to BC detection, a modified version of GB demonstrates feasibility for tissue and urine-based detection of FGFR3 fusions.

    Digital PCR-Based Uromonitor for Molecular Detection of Bladder Cancer: A Multicenter Validation Study Comparing Quantitative PCR and Urine Cytology. (PubMed, Clin Genitourin Cancer)
    These findings support dPCR as a robust non-invasive diagnostic adjunct under conservative analytical conditions and justify further large-scale prospective multicentre validation in clinically representative populations undergoing bladder cancer surveillance to define its role in risk=adapted evidence-based diagnostic pathways and inform future implementation studies in clinical practice.

    Digital Uromonitor® outperforms quantitative polymerase chain reaction Uromonitor and cytology for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer surveillance: results from the 'External Validation of Uromonitor as a Biomarker for Optimization of NMIBC Management by the Club Urológico Español de Tratamiento Oncológico Group' (EVALUATION-CUETO) study. (PubMed, BJU Int)
    The dUM significantly outperformed its qPCR predecessor and cytology in sensitivity for detecting NMIBC recurrence in a real-world setting, without compromising specificity. Its high NPV supports its potential for reducing unnecessary cystoscopies. Furthermore, its combination with cystoscopy drastically increased the PPV, suggesting a role as an adjunctive tool to improve diagnostic confidence and potentially reduce unnecessary transurethral resections of bladder tumour, pending favourable cost-effectiveness.
