Toward personalized management in bladder cancer: the promise of novel molecular taxonomy

Marie-Lisa Eich et al. Virchows Arch. 2017 Aug.

Abstract

Empowered by the recent advances in next generation sequencing and bioinformatics technology, an unprecedented wave of integrated transcriptomic and genomic studies have impacted the field of bladder cancer. These studies not only have confirmed previously charted genetic pathways in bladder cancer development but also have led to the discovery of numerous additional crucial driver genetic alterations. As a result, a novel genomic-based taxonomy is emerging that promises to better define clinically relevant intrinsic subtypes of bladder cancer. The current review is an update on the above advances and their significant implications on the future of bladder cancer patient management.
