Abstract
BACKGROUND A high level of PD-L1 expression is the most relevant predictive parameter for response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in urinary bladder cancer. Existing data on the relationship between PD-L1 expression and the natural course of disease are controversial and sparse. METHODS To expand our understanding of the relationship between PD-L1 expression and parameters of cancer aggressiveness, PD-L1 was analyzed on tissue microarrays containing 2710 urothelial bladder carcinomas including 512 patients with follow-up data who underwent radical cystectomy and follow-up therapies in the pre-immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy era. RESULTS Tumor cell positivity in ≥10% of cells were seen in 513 (20%) and an immune cell positivity occurred in 872 (34%) of 2566 interpretable cancers. PD-L1 positivity in tumor cells increased from pTaG2 low grade (0.9% positive) to pTaG3 high grade (4.1%; p = 0.0255) and was even higher in muscle-invasive (pT2-4) carcinomas (29.3%; p < 0.0001). However, within pT2-4 carcinomas, PD-L1 positivity was linked to low pT stage (p = 0.0028), pN0 (p < 0.0001), L0 status (p = 0.0005), and a better prognosis within 512 patients with cystectomy who never received CPIs (p = 0.0073 for tumor cells and p = 0.0086 for inflammatory cells). PD-L1 staining in inflammatory cells was significantly linked to PD-L1 staining in tumor cells (p < 0.0001) and both were linked to a positive p53 immunostaining (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION It cannot be fully excluded that the strong statistical link between PD-L1 status and favorable histological tumor features as well as better prognosis could influence the outcome of studies evaluating CPIs in muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantity and the spatial relationship of specific immune cell types can provide prognostic information in bladder cancer. OBJECTIVE To characterize the spatial interplay and prognostic role of different immune cell subpopulations in bladder cancer. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 2463 urothelial bladder carcinomas were immunostained with 21 antibodies using BLEACH&STAIN multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray format and analyzed using a framework of neuronal networks for an image analysis. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Spatial immune parameters were compared with histopathological parameters and overall survival data. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS The identification of > 300 different immune cell subpopulations and the characterization of their spatial relationship resulted in numerous spatial interaction patterns. Thirty-nine immune parameters showed prognostic significance in univariate analyses, of which 16 were independent from pT, pN, and histological grade in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Among all these parameters, the strongest association with prolonged overall survival was identified for intraepithelial CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (time-dependent area under receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC]: 0.70), while stromal CD8+ T cells were less relevant (AUC: 0.65). A favorable prognosis of inflamed cancers with high levels of "exhaustion markers" suggests that TIM3, PD-L1, PD-1, and CTLA-4 on immune cells do not hinder antitumoral immune response in tumors rich of tumor infiltrating immune cells. CONCLUSIONS The density of intraepithelial CD8+ T cells was the strongest prognostic feature in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Given that tumor cell killing by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes through direct cell-to-cell-contacts represents the "terminal end route" of antitumor immunity, the quantity of "tumor cell adjacent CD8+ T cells" may constitute a surrogate for the efficiency of cancer recognition by the immune system that can be measured straightaway in routine pathology as the CD8 labeling index. PATIENT SUMMARY Quantification of intraepithelial CD8+ T cells, the strongest prognostic feature identified in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, can easily be assessed by brightfield immunohistochemistry and is therefore "ready to use" for routine pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uroplakin-1a (Upk1a) and uroplakin-1b (Upk1b) have recently been identified as diagnostic markers for the distinction of urothelial carcinomas from other solid tumor entities. Both proteins play an important role in the stabilization and strengthening of epithelial cells that line the bladder. METHODS To evaluate the prognostic role of uroplakin expression in urothelial carcinomas, more than 2700 urothelial neoplasms were analyzed in a tissue microarray format by immunohistochemistry. To further assess the diagnostic role of uroplakin immunohistochemistry, results were compared with preexisting GATA3 data. RESULT The fraction of Upk1a/Upk1b positive cases decreased slightly from pTaG2 low-grade (88% positive for Upk1a/87% positive for Upk1b) and pTaG2 high-grade (92%/89%) to pTaG3 (83%/88%; p > 0.05) and was lower in muscle-invasive (pT2-4) carcinomas (42%/64%; p < 0.0001/p < 0.0001 for pTa vs. pT2-4). Within pT2-4 carcinomas, high expression of Upk1a and Upk1b was linked to nodal metastasis and lymphatic vessel infiltration (p < 0.05) but unrelated to patient outcome. There were significant associations between Upk1a, Upk1b and GATA3 immunostaining (p < 0.0001 each), but 11% of GATA3 negative cancers were Upk1a/b positive and 8% of Upk1a/b negative cancers were GATA3 positive. Absence of GATA3/Upk1a/b staining was significantly linked to poor patient survival in the subgroup of 126 pT4 carcinomas (p = 0.0004) but not in pT2 and pT3 cancers. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the results of our study demonstrate that Upk1a and/or Upk1b immunohistochemistry can complement GATA3 for the distinction of urothelial carcinomas. Furthermore, a progressive loss of Upk1a/b expression during stage progression and a prognostic role of the combination GATA3/Upk1a/Upk1b in pT4 carcinomas is evident.

Abstract
Introduction Trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2; EpCAM2) is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is closely related to EpCAM (EpCAM; EpCAM1). Both proteins share partial overlapping functions in epithelial development and EpCAM expression but have not been comparatively analyzed together in bladder carcinomas. TROP2 constitutes the target for the antibody-drug conjugate Sacituzumab govitecan (SG; TrodelvyTM) which has been approved for treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma by the United States Food and Drug administration (FDA) irrespective of its TROP2 expression status. Methods To evaluate the potential clinical significance of subtle differences in TROP2 and EpCAM expression in urothelial bladder cancer, both proteins were analyzed by multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry in combination with a deep-learning based algorithm for automated cell detection on more than 2,700 urothelial bladder carcinomas in a tissue microarray (TMA) format. Results The staining pattern of TROP2 and EpCAM were highly similar. For both proteins, the staining intensity gradually decreased from pTa G2 low grade (TROP2: 68.8±36.1; EpCAM: 21.5±11.7) to pTa G2 high grade (64.6±38.0; 19.3±12.2) and pTa G3 (52.1±38.7; 16.0±13.0, p<0.001 each). In pT2-4 carcinomas, the average TROP2 and EpCAM staining intensity was intermediate (61.8±40.9; 18.3±12.3). For both proteins, this was significantly lower than in pTa G2 low grade (p<0.001 each) but also higher than in pTa G3 tumors (p=0.022 for TROP2, p=0.071 for EpCAM). Within pT2-4 carcinomas, the TROP2 and EpCAM staining level was unrelated to pT, grade, UICC-category, and overall or tumor-specific patient survival. The ratio TROP2/EpCAM was unrelated to malignant phenotype and patient prognosis. Conclusion Our data show that TROP2 and EpCAM expression is common and highly interrelated in urothelial neoplasms. Despite of a progressive loss of TROP2/EpCAM during tumor cell dedifferentiation in pTa tumors, the lack of associations with clinicopathological parameters in pT2-4 cancer argues against a major cancer driving role of both proteins for the progression of urothelial neoplasms.

This multicenter study is the first study comparing all available rapid tests on a large cohort of bladder cancer patients and healthy controls in one setting. METHODS In total 732 urine samples (second morning urine) in a real-world assessment have been analyzed. We evaluated clinical samples from 464 patients with histologically confirmed urothelial tumors of the urinary bladder (17 solitary CIS, 189 low-grade, 187 high-grade nonmuscle invasive, 71 high-grade muscle invasive), 77 patients with No Evidence of Disease (NED), and from 191 healthy controls. Urine samples were analyzed by the BTA stat®, NMP22® BladderChek®, UBC® Rapid Test point-of-care (POC) system using the concile Omega 100 POC reader, and CancerCheck® UBC® rapid VISUAL. Sensitivities and specificities were calculated by contingency analyses. RESULTS All investigated urinary markers detected more pathological concentrations in urine of bladder cancer patients compared to tumor-free patients. The calculated diagnostic sensitivities for BTA stat®, NMP22® BladderChek®, UBC® Rapid Test, CancerCheck® UBC® rapid VISUAL, and cytology were 62.4%, 13.4%, 58.2%, 28.6%, 36.2% for low-grade, 83.4%, 49.5%, 84.5%, 63.1%, 71.2% for high-grade nonmuscle invasive, and 95.8%, 35.2%, 76.1%, 50.7%, 67.7% for high-grade muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The specificity was 67.9%, 95.5%, 79.4%, 94.4%, and 83.7%, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) after receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis for high-grade non-muscle-invasive tumors was 0.757, 0.725, 0.819, 0.787, and 0.774, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The analysis of more than 700 urine samples offers an objective view on urine-based rapid diagnostics. Elevated pathological concentrations of markers in urine of bladder cancer patients were detected in all investigated tests. The highest sensitivities for high-grade non-muscle-invasive tumors were calculated for BTA stat® and UBC® Rapid Test, whereas NMP22® BladderChek®, and cytology showed the highest specificities. BTA stat® and UBC® Rapid Test have the potential to be used as a clinical valuable urinary protein biomarker for the detection of high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients and could be included in the management of these tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most inactivating p53 mutations result in a nuclear p53 accumulation - detectable by immunohistochemistry (IHC). p53 alterations leading to a complete lack of p53 protein and absence of immunostaining do also occur - not easily detectable by IHC. p16 is upregulated in p53 inactivated cells. We hypothesized that a positive p16 IHC may help to distinguish p53 inactivation in IHC negative cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS We investigated p53 and p16 immunostaining on 2710 urothelial bladder carcinomas in a tissue microarray format to understand their impact in relation to clinicopathological parameters of disease progression and patient outcome. RESULTS p16 immunostaining was absent in normal urothelium but occurred in 63.5% (30.4% strong) of cancers. p16 strongly positive cases increased from pTaG2 low-grade (9.6%) to pTaG3 high-grade tumors (46.5%, p < .0001) but decreased from pTaG3 to pT4 (33.3%; p = .0030). Among pT2-4 carcinomas, p16 positivity was linked to high-grade (p = .0005) but unrelated to overall survival. p53 staining was negative in 8.4%, very weak in 15.4%, weak in 55.3%, strong in 4.7%, and very strong in 16.2% cancers. p53 negative (potentially p53 null phenotype), strong, and very strong p53 positivity increased from pTaG2 low-grade to pTaG3 high-grade tumors (p < .0001) and from pTaG3 to pT2-4 cancers (p = .0007). p53 staining was largely unrelated to histopathological parameters or patient prognosis among pT2-4 carcinomas, except of p53 strong/very strong immunostaining. p16 expression predominated in tumors with very strong, strong, and negative p53 staining and the combination of p53 negative/p16 strongly positive cancers was linked to features of tumor aggressiveness. CONCLUSION Aberrant p53 and p16 immunostaining increases during grade and stage progression although p53 negative and p16 positive immunostaining lack prognostic significance in pT2-4 carcinomas. Potential diagnostic features are that high level p16 expression is limited to neoplastic urothelium and p53 null phenotype to aggressive cancers (grade 3 and invasive).

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine oncological and functional outcomes and side effects after focal therapy of prostate cancer (PCa) with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). METHODS This retrospective single-center study included 57 consecutive patients with localised PCa. Aged 18-80 with ≤2 suspicious lesions on mpMRI (PIRADS ≥ 3), PSA of ≤15 ng/mL, and an ISUP GG of ≤2. HIFU was performed between November 2014 and September 2018. All men had an MRI/US fusion-guided targeted biopsy (TB) combined with a TRUS-guided 10-core systematic biopsy (SB) prior to focal therapy. HIFU treatment was performed as focal, partial, or hemiablative, depending on the prior histopathology. Follow-up included Questionnaires (IIEF-5, ICIQ, and IPSS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement, follow-up mpMRI, and follow-up biopsies. RESULTS The median age of the cohort was 72 years (IQR 64-76), and the median PSA value before HIFU was 7.3 ng/mL (IQR 5.75-10.39 ng/mL). The median follow-up was 27.5 (IQR 23-41) months. At the time of the follow-up, the median PSA value was 2.5 ng/mL (IQR 0.94-4.96 ng/mL), which shows a significant decrease (p < 0.001). In 17 (29.8%) men, mpMRI revealed a suspicious lesion, and 19 (33.3%) men had a positive biopsy result. Only IIEF values significantly decreased from 16 (IQR 10.75-20.25) to 11.5 (IQR 4.5-17) (p < 0.001). The rate of post-HIFU complications was low, at 19.3% (11 patients). The limitation of this study is the lack of long-term follow-up. CONCLUSIONS HIFU as a therapy option for nonmetastatic, significant prostate cancer is effective in the short term for carefully selected patients and shows a low risk of adverse events and side effects.

Abstract
Objective: We investigated whether pathological outcomes improved with experience and surgeon generation after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Materials and Methods: The study included 1338 patients who underwent RALP between February 2010 and April 2020. We created learning curves for pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND), number of lymph nodes (LNs) removed, and positive surgical margin (PSM) after adjustment for confounders. We compared the outcomes between the first and second generation of surgeons in regression models. Results: The learning curve regarding PLND indications showed a significant increase with experience for the first generation, whereas the second generation had a learning curve that remained flat at a higher level (92.3%) and significantly better than the first generation (p < 0.001). Similarly, the number of LN removed showed a significant increase with experience in both generations, but the overall median number of LN removed was significantly higher in the second generation compared with the first generation (12 vs 10, p < 0.001). However, the learning curve for PSM remained flat at ∼20% after adjustment and did not show improvement with experience in both generations of surgeons (p = 0.794). Conclusions: Surgeons showed improvement with experience and education with RALP with respect to the indications for PLND and number of LNs removed. However, there was no improvement over time and generations for PSM. Experience based solely on the number of patients operated on is not an intrinsic factor in the pathological quality of RALP. Factors other than experience may also play a role in oncologic improvement.

Abstract
Advancements in the molecular genetic understanding of urological tumors have enabled the identification of numerous new therapeutic targets. Based on routinely applicable tumor sequencing, individual treatment decisions have been introduced in the context of precision oncology. This work provides an overview of the latest targeted tumor therapies in the treatment of prostate cancer, urothelial carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma. Current studies on the administration of FGFR-inhibitors ("fibroblast growth factor receptor") in metastatic urothelial carcinoma show a high tumor response in patients with selected FGFR alterations. PARP-inhibitors ("Poly-[ADP-Ribose-]Polymerase") are routinely used in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. Patients with a BRCA mutation ("BReast CAncer gene") show high radiological response rates. Moreover, we discuss the latest results of the combination of PARP inhibitors with novel androgen receptor pathway inhibitors. In metastatic prostate cancer, there are numerous ongoing studies evaluating the promising drug targets PI3K/AKT/mTOR ("Phosphatidylinositol-3-Kinase")/AKT/mTOR ("mammalian target of rapamycine") and VEGF signaling pathways ("vascular endothelial growth factor"). A HIF-2a inhibitor ("hypoxia inducible factor") offers a promising new therapeutic option for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Overall, molecular diagnostics to determine the right therapy for the right patient subgroup at the right time is important for uro-oncological precision medicine.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Tumor protein 63 (p63) is a transcription factor of the p53 gene family which is regularly expressed in the normal urothelium. Recently proposed RNA expression based molecular classifiers of bladder cancer identified high p63 expression as a component of a basal/squamous subtype linked to poor patient prognosis. The interplay between p63 expression status and the anti-tumor immunity in bladder cancer is unknown.
Design: To assess the prognostic impact of p63 expression and the relationship between p63 and the immune tumor microenvironment we have stained tissue microarrays containing more than 2300 urothelial bladder carcinomas with 22 antibodies (i.e., p63, CD3, CD8, CD4, FOXP3, CD20, CD68, CD163, CD11c, TIM3, PD-L1, PD-1, CTLA-4, panCK, Ki-67, CD31, Vimentin, HLA-DRa, Myosin-11, Desmoglein 3, PAX-8, CDH16) using conventional brightfield and multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry (BLEACH&STAIN). A framework of several neuronal networks for image analysis were used. Spatial immune parameters were compared with histopathological parameters and overall survival data. The area under (tAUC) time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves was used to compare the prognostic relevance of different prognostic markers.
Results: Nuclear p63 staining was seen in all cells of normal urothelium and in all pTaG2 tumors, mostly at high levels. The rate of p63 positive cases and the staining intensity was lower in pTaG3 tumors (93.2%, p<0.0001 for pTaG3 vs pTaG2) and markedly lower in pT2-4 carcinomas (83.5%, p=0.0120 for pT2-4 vs. pTaG3). A low p63 expression was linked to a low density of T-helper cells (p=0.044) and regulatory T-cells (p=0.0053) localized in the intraepithelial tumor component as well as in the stroma, while all other analyzed T-cells and macrophages subsets where unrelated to p63 expression. Within pT2-4 carcinomas, low p63 expression was linked to nodal metastasis (p=0.0028) and overall survival (p=0.0005). The association of p63 loss with survival was independent of pT and pN (p=0.0109). The predictive performance of intraepithelial CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells (tAUC: 0.70) was even higher than the predictive performance of p63 expression (tAUC: 0.57, p=0.0017).
Conclusion: In summary, our data show that p63 is downregulated in a fraction of urothelial neoplasms that are associated with a particularly poor prognosis and a low density of T-helper and regulatory T-cells. The even higher predictive performance of intraepithelial CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells underlines the strong prognostic role of the immune tumor microenvironment in muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Abstract
Cytokeratin 20 (CK20) expression is limited to umbrella cells in the normal urothelium. Since CK20 is often upregulated in neoplastic urothelial cells including dysplasia and carcinoma in situ, immunohistochemical CK20 analysis is often used for the assessment of bladder biopsies. CK20 expression is a feature of luminal bladder cancer subtype, but its prognostic relevance is disputed. In this study, we investigated CK20 on >2700 urothelial bladder carcinomas in a tissue microarray format by immunohistochemistry. Cytoplasmic and membranous CK20 staining was seen in 1319 (51.8%) cancers. The fraction of CK20 positive and especially strongly positive cases increased from pTaG2 low grade (44.5% strongly positive) and pTaG2 high grade (57.7%) to pTaG3 high grade (62.3%; p = 0.0006) but was lower in muscle-invasive (pT2-4) carcinomas (51.1% in all pTa vs. 29.6% in pT2-4; p < 0.0001). Within pT2-4 carcinomas, CK20 positivity was linked to nodal metastasis and lymphatic vessel invasion (p < 0.0001 each) and to venous invasion (p = 0.0177). CK20 staining was unrelated to overall patient survival if all 605 pT2-4 carcinomas were jointly analyzed but subgroup analyses revealed a significant association of CK20 positivity with favorable prognosis in 129 pT4 carcinomas (p = 0.0005). CK20 positivity was strongly linked to the expression of GATA3 (p < 0.0001), another feature of luminal bladder cancer. The combined analysis of both parameters showed best prognosis for luminal A (CK20+/GATA3+, CK20+/GATA3-) and worst outcome for luminal B (CK20-/GATA3+) and basal/squamous (CK20-/GATA3-) in pT4 urothelial carcinomas (p = 0.0005). In summary, the results of our study demonstrate a complex role of CK20 expression in urothelial neoplasms including neoexpression in pTa tumors, a subsequent loss of CK20 expression in a subset of tumors progressing to muscle-invasion, and a stage dependent prognostic role in muscle-invasive cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) has been approved in Germany since 2013 for the second-line treatment of idiopathic overactive bladder in the form of a detrusor injection (OnabotA DI) after failure of anticholinergic therapy. Until 2018, however, its application lagged far behind the demand due to billing hurdles. Since the beginning of 2018, there has been an EBM (German Uniform Evaluation Standard) approval number in Germany for the transurethral application of Botox in urology. QUESTION The aim of a survey performed in 2019 among course participants of regular injection workshops (WS-P) in our institution was to evaluate whether billability has changed user behaviour in Germany in line with the demand. A similar survey was carried out in 2021 to show the developments over the past two years. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 2019, 88 consecutive participants in a user workshop that had been held regularly since 2013 were asked about their OnabotA DI practice anonymously via questionnaire. The survey was repeated in 2021 in an anonymous online survey of 55 course participants in order to evaluate changes in user behaviour over the past two years. RESULTS Evaluation 2019: Response rate 35/88 of the questionnaires (39.8%); a large majority (82%) of the WS-P attended the workshop AFTER the establishment of the EBM code. Only 54.5% of the WS-P performed two or more (12% more than 10) OnabotA DIs per quarter after the workshop. Most users (85%) always or predominantly performed the procedure on an outpatient basis, 63% always or predominantly under local anesthesia. The majority (84%) administered no or only a perioperative antibiotic treatment, 13% for one week. 89% stated that at least 70% of their patients had no or only mild symptoms under the LA. In the 2021 evaluation, the users tended to perform the procedure more often on an outpatient basis and in LA, and more often without any antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS The results of our user survey indicate that the implementation of the OnabotA DI has gained significant impetus since the EBM approval in Germany in January 2018. In most cases, the procedure can be performed easily on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.

Abstract
The Ki-67 labeling index (Ki-67 LI) is a strong prognostic marker in prostate cancer, although its analysis requires cumbersome manual quantification of Ki-67 immunostaining in 200-500 tumor cells. To enable automated Ki-67 LI assessment in routine clinical practice, a framework for automated Ki-67 LI quantification, which comprises three different artificial intelligence analysis steps and an algorithm for cell-distance analysis of multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry (mfIHC) staining, was developed and validated in a cohort of 12,475 prostate cancers. The prognostic impact of the Ki-67 LI was tested on a tissue microarray (TMA) containing one 0.6 mm sample per patient. A 'heterogeneity TMA' containing three to six samples from different tumor areas in each patient was used to model Ki-67 analysis of multiple different biopsies, and 30 prostate biopsies were analyzed to compare a 'classical' bright field-based Ki-67 analysis with the mfIHC-based framework. The Ki-67 LI provided strong and independent prognostic information in 11,845 analyzed prostate cancers (p < 0.001 each), and excellent agreement was found between the framework for automated Ki-67 LI assessment and the manual quantification in prostate biopsies from routine clinical practice (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.94 [95% confidence interval: 0.87-0.97]). The analysis of the heterogeneity TMA revealed that the Ki-67 LI of the sample with the highest Gleason score (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.68) was as prognostic as the mean Ki-67 LI of all six foci (AUC: 0.71 [p = 0.24]). The combined analysis of the Ki-67 LI and Gleason score obtained on identical tissue spots showed that the Ki-67 LI added significant additional prognostic information in case of classical International Society of Urological Pathology grades (AUC: 0.82 [p = 0.002]) and quantitative Gleason score (AUC: 0.83 [p = 0.018]). The Ki-67 LI is a powerful prognostic parameter in prostate cancer that is now applicable in routine clinical practice. In the case of multiple cancer-positive biopsies, the sole automated analysis of the worst biopsy was sufficient. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION According to the EAU guidelines, botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) detrusor injections are one of the last options in the management of overactive bladder before opting for invasive surgery. So far, there have been no studies dedicated exclusively to such patients who have undergone this treatment and in whom this treatment has presumably failed. From the patient's point of view, there are questions regarding what reasons led to discontinuation, how patients perceive their BoNT-A treatment in hindsight, what further treatment do these patients receive, and how satisfied such patients are with their current situation. METHODS A database of clinical and inpatient records was searched, and 695 records from 406 patients were identified in a 6-year period, who had received BoNT-A detrusor injections. There were 255 cases that were treated with BoNT-A injections into the detrusor muscle where the therapy was not repeated for at least 12 months (= suspected treatment failures). Interviews with these patients were conducted by mail and phone, and 115 questionnaires could be included in the analysis. RESULTS From the subjective and prospective points of view of the patients, the most common reason for stopping the therapy was a lack of efficacy of BoNT-A injections (39.1%). For 26.1% of all patients, side effects were a reason for dissatisfaction but never a reason for discontinuation. For 10.4%, the reason for stopping the therapy was spontaneous improvement. 35.6% of the respondents had no follow-up therapy. Those with a follow-up therapy mostly returned to anticholinergic treatment (33%). Operations were carried out on 13%, of which about half were highly invasive. For 71.3% of those patients, who were under any current therapy, this therapy led to no improvement or only some improvement of the symptoms. Surprisingly, 50.4% of the respondents would choose to undergo BoNT-A injection therapy again. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION The majority of patients who did not continue BoNT-A therapy are still suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms. The lack of efficacy was the reason for stopping the BoNT-A injection therapy for less than half of the patients. From the patient's point of view, reasons other than the effectiveness also seem to be relevant in the choice of the treatment. When changing therapy, most returned to drug treatment. However, for the majority of patients with any follow-up therapy, this therapy could not improve the symptoms.

Abstract
Introduction: Detrusor injection with onabotulinumtoxin A (OnabotA-DI) is an established therapy for overactive bladder (OAB). Little is known about the exact onset and course of the effect in the days after the injection therapy. By using a new type of app-controlled automated diary pod, for the first time, the precise onset of the effect of OnabotA-DI can be documented in real time. Materials and methods: Patients due for OnabotA-DI were asked to document voiding 3 days before and up to 3 weeks after therapy using the Diary Pod app. The detrusor injection was performed with onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox®), 100 units, at 20 sites of the detrusor muscle in a standardized manner. Voiding on the injection day itself was not documented. Results: A total of 17 patients (15 women, 2 men; aged 33−83 (mean 64.6; median 70) years) were included in the study. The handling of the Diary Pod app was user-friendly, and elderly patients did not encounter technical problems. The results of patients with reliably documented micturitions showed a continuous reduction in micturition frequency every day from the first day and significantly from day 5. For 24 h voiding, from 12.83 ± 5.54 in the 3 days before injection, the following mean values were found with significant (p < 0.05) changes after the intervention: 9.17 ± 3.19 on day 5, 8.75 ± 3.69 on day 10, 7.17 ± 2.04 on day 15, and 5.75 ± 0.5 on day 20. These changes were in similar proportions during the daytime and nighttime. Conclusions: Contrary to previous knowledge, the effect of the OnabotA-DI set in from the first postoperative days and was reflected a similar extent in day and night micturition. This study is the first to document the onset of action of OnabotA-DI in real time.

Abstract
The transcription factor GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3) is commonly used in surgical pathology as a diagnostic marker to distinguish urothelial carcinomas from other cancer entities. However, the clinical relevance of GATA3 expression in urothelial bladder cancer is not completely clarified. In this study, we investigated GATA3 immunostaining on 2710 urothelial bladder carcinomas on a tissue microarray platform by using two different antibodies to better understand its impact in relation to pathological parameters of disease progression and patient outcome. Nuclear GATA3 immunostaining was regularly seen in normal urothelium and found in 74%/82% of interpretable urothelial neoplasms depending on the antibody used. Within pTa tumors, the rate of GATA3 positive tumors decreased with advancing grade. GATA3 positivity was seen in 98.6%/99.8% of pTaG2 low-grade, 98.6%/100% of pTaG2 high-grade, and 94.9%/99.2% of pTaG3 high-grade tumors (P = .0002). As compared to pTa tumors, GATA3 positivity was markedly less common in muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (59.9%/71.6%; P < .0001). Within pT2-4 cancers, high-level GATA3 immunostaining was associated with the presence of lymph node metastasis (P = .0034), and blood vessel (P = .0290) or lymphatic invasion (P = .0005) but unrelated to pT stage. GATA3 immunostaining results for both antibodies were not associated with overall survival in 586 patients treated by cystectomy for pT2-4 urothelial carcinoma. The results of our study identify GATA3 expression as a frequent event in noninvasive urothelial carcinomas with favorable tumor features. Loss of GATA3 immunostaining is linked with muscle-invasive disease but is largely unrelated to pathological parameters and patient prognosis.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging/Ultrasound (MRI/US) fusion targeted biopsy (TB) in combination with a systematic biopsy (SB) improves cancer detection but limited data is available how to manage patients with a Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) ≥ 4 lesion and a negative biopsy. We evaluate the real-world management and the rate of clinically significant Prostate Cancer (csPCa) during follow-up. 1546 patients with a multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) and a PI-RADS ≥ 3 who underwent SB and TB between January 2012 and May 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. 222 men with a PI-RADS ≥ 4 and a negative biopsy were included until 2019. For 177/222 (80%) complete follow-up data was obtained. 66/84 (78%) had an initial PI-RADS 4 and 18 (22%) a PI-RADS 5 lesion. 48% (84/177) received a repeat mpMRI; in the follow-up mpMRI, 39/84 (46%) lesions were downgraded to PI-RADS 2 and 11 (13%) to PI-RADS 3; three cases were upgraded and 28 lesions remained consistent. 18% (32/177) men underwent repeated TB and csPCa was detected in 44% (14/32). Our study presents real world data on the management of men with a negative TB biopsy. Men with a positive mpMRI and lesions with high suspicion (PI-RADS4/5) and a negative targeted biopsy should be critically reviewed and considered for repeat biopsy or strict surveillance. The optimal clinical risk assessment remains to be further evaluated.

Abstract
Patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma achieving pathological complete response (pCR) upon neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have improved prognosis. Molecular subtypes of bladder cancer differ markedly regarding sensitivity to cisplatin-based chemotherapy and harbor FGFR treatment targets to various content. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether preoperative assessment of molecular subtype as well as FGFR target gene expression is predictive for therapeutic outcome—rate of ypT0 status—to justify subsequent prospective validation within the “BladderBRIDGister”. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue specimens from transurethral bladder tumor resections (TUR) prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and corresponding radical cystectomy samples after chemotherapy of 36 patients were retrospectively collected. RNA from FFPE tissues were extracted by commercial kits, Relative gene expression of subtyping markers (e.g., KRT5, KRT20) and target genes (FGFR1, FGFR3) was analyzed by standardized RT-qPCR systems (STRATIFYER Molecular Pathology GmbH, Cologne). Spearman correlation, Kruskal−Wallis, Mann−Whitney and sensitivity/specificity tests were performed by JMP 9.0.0 (SAS software). The neoadjuvant cohort consisted of 36 patients (median age: 69, male 83% vs. female 17%) with 92% of patients being node-negative during radical cystectomy after 1 to 4 cycles of NAC. When comparing pretreatment with post-treatment samples, the median expression of KRT20 dropped most significantly from DCT 37.38 to 30.65, which compares with a 128-fold decrease. The reduction in gene expression was modest for other luminal marker genes (GATA3 6.8-fold, ERBB2 6.3-fold). In contrast, FGFR1 mRNA expression increased from 33.28 to 35.88 (~6.8-fold increase). Spearman correlation revealed positive association of pretreatment KRT20 mRNA levels with achieving pCR (r = 0.3072: p = 0.0684), whereas pretreatment FGFR1 mRNA was associated with resistance to chemotherapy (r = −0.6418: p < 0.0001). Hierarchical clustering identified luminal tumors of high KRT20 mRNA expression being associated with high pCR rate (10/16; 63%), while the double-negative subgroup with high FGFR1 expression did not respond with pCR (0/9; 0%). Molecular subtyping distinguishes patients with high probability of response from tumors as resistant to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Targeting FGFR1 in less-differentiated bladder cancer subgroups may sensitize tumors for adopted treatments or subsequent chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Germline variants explain more than a third of prostate cancer (PrCa) risk, but very few associations have been identified between heritable factors and clinical progression. OBJECTIVE To find rare germline variants that predict time to biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical treatment in men with PrCa and understand the genetic factors associated with such progression. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Whole-genome sequencing data from blood DNA were analysed for 850 PrCa patients with radical treatment from the Pan Prostate Cancer Group (PPCG) consortium from the UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, and France. Findings were validated using 383 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS A total of 15,822 rare (MAF <1%) predicted-deleterious coding germline mutations were identified. Optimal multifactor and univariate Cox regression models were built to predict time to BCR after radical treatment, using germline variants grouped by functionally annotated gene sets. Models were tested for robustness using bootstrap resampling. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Optimal Cox regression multifactor models showed that rare predicted-deleterious germline variants in "Hallmark" gene sets were consistently associated with altered time to BCR. Three gene sets had a statistically significant association with risk-elevated outcome when modelling all samples: PI3K/AKT/mTOR, Inflammatory response, and KRAS signalling (up). PI3K/AKT/mTOR and KRAS signalling (up) were also associated among patients with higher-grade cancer, as were Pancreas-beta cells, TNFA signalling via NKFB, and Hypoxia, the latter of which was validated in the independent TCGA dataset. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate for the first time that rare deleterious coding germline variants robustly associate with time to BCR after radical treatment, including cohort-independent validation. Our findings suggest that germline testing at diagnosis could aid clinical decisions by stratifying patients for differential clinical management. PATIENT SUMMARY Prostate cancer patients with particular genetic mutations have a higher chance of relapsing after initial radical treatment, potentially providing opportunities to identify patients who might need additional treatments earlier.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)-directed and micro-ultrasonography (micro-US)-directed biopsy for detecting clinically significant (Grade Group >1) prostate cancer (csPCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 203 patients were prospectively enrolled at three institutions across Germany and Austria in the period from January 2019 to December 2019. During each biopsy, the urologist was blinded to the mpMRI report until after the micro-US targets had been assessed. After unblinding, targets were then sampled using software-assisted fusion, followed by systematic samples. The primary outcome measure was non-inferiority of micro-US to detect csPCa, with a detection ratio of at least 80% that of mpMRI. RESULTS A total of 79 csPCa cases were detected overall (39%). Micro-US-targeted biopsy detected 58/79 cases (73%), while mpMRI-targeted biopsy detected 60/79 (76%) and non-targeted (completion sampling) samples detected 45/79 cases (57%). mpMRI-targeted samples alone detected 7/79 (9%) csPCa cases which were missed by micro-US-targeted and non-targeted samples. Three of these seven were anterior lesions with 2/7 in the transition zone. Micro-US-targeted samples alone detected 5/79 (6%) and completion sampling alone detected 4/79 cases (5%). Micro-US was non-inferior to mpMRI and detected 97% of the csPCa cases detected by mpMRI-targeted biopsy (95% CI 80-116%; P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS This is the first multicentre prospective study comparing micro-US-targeted biopsy with mpMRI-targeted biopsy. The study provides further evidence that micro-US can reliably detect cancer lesions and suggests that micro-US biopsy might be as effective as mpMRI for detection of csPCA. This result has significant implications for increasing accessibility, reducing costs and expediting diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective Anoctamin 7 (ANO7) is a calcium2+-dependent chloride ion channel protein. Its expression is restricted to prostate epithelial cells. The exact function is unknown. This study aimed to analyze ANO7 expression and its clinical significance in prostate cancer (PCa). Methods ANO7 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 17,747 clinical PCa specimens. Results ANO7 was strongly expressed in normal prostate glandular cells but often less abundant in cancer cells. ANO7 staining was interpretable in 13,594 cancer tissues and considered strong in 34.4%, moderate in 48.7%, weak in 9.3%, and negative in 7.6%. Reduced staining was tightly linked to adverse tumor features [high classical and quantitative Gleason grade, lymph node metastasis, advanced tumor stage, high Ki67 labeling index, positive surgical margin, and early biochemical recurrence (P < 0.0001 each)]. The univariate Cox hazard ratio for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) recurrence after prostatectomy in patients with negative vs. strong ANO7 expression was 2.98 (95% confidence interval 2.61-3.38). The prognostic impact was independent of established pre- or postoperatively available parameters (P < 0.0001). Analysis of annotated molecular data showed that low ANO7 expression was linked to TMPRSS2:ERG fusions (P < 0.0001), elevated androgen receptor expression (P < 0.0001), as well as presence of 9 of 11 chromosomal deletions (P < 0.05 each). A particularly strong association of low ANO7 expression with phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) deletion may indicate a functional relationship with the PTEN/AKT pathway. Conclusions These data identify reduced ANO7 protein expression as a strong and independent predictor of poor prognosis in PCa. ANO7 measurement, either alone or in combination, might provide clinically useful prognostic information in PCa.

Abstract
Medicine is becoming increasingly precise. This is particularly evident in the field of pharmaceuticals and especially in oncology. Driven by the steadily growing understanding of biomedical interrelationships and the resulting increase in precision, we are currently experiencing a paradigm shift from a one-drug-fits-all model towards an individualized biomarker-driven approach. This essentially enables the transition from efficacy to effectiveness. In order to ensure that the promise of high-quality, affordable precision medicine for all remains valid in the future, the step from efficacy in clinical studies to effectiveness in the practice of care is crucial in the next decade. This will be achieved with end-to-end precision from diagnostics to real-world evidence.

Abstract
It is the aim of the Medical Informatics Funding Scheme and other national and local projects for digital networking in healthcare to facilitate the exchange and use of patient data between institutions in compliance with data protection regulations. This requires the integration of data from various sources-such as digital workplace systems, laboratory systems, picture archiving and communication (PAC) systems or tumor boards-into a data warehouse or research databases. Digital networking of service providers and research institutions will open access to high-performance and precision medicine (e.g., virtual molecular tumor boards) for even more patients, thereby providing data for basic and care research. Network medicine will establish the translational link between basic research (e.g., genome research) and patient care. Digitally integrated "real world" patient data will also facilitate a detailed analysis of health care and the quality of treatments.

Abstract
Deletion of chromosome 5q is common in prostate cancer and is linked to aggressive disease. Most previous studies focused on 5q21 where CHD1 is located, but deletion of mapping studies has identified a second deletion hotspot at 5q13. To clarify the prevalence and clinical relevance of 5q13 deletions and to determine the relative importance of 5q13 and 5q21 abnormalities, a tissue microarray containing samples from 12 427 prostate cancers was analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. Deletion of 5q13 and 5q21 was found in 13.5% and 10%, respectively, of 7932 successfully analyzed cancers. Deletion was restricted to 5q13 in 49.4% and to 5q21 in 32.0% of cancers with a 5q deletion. Only 18.6% of 5q-deleted cancers had deletions of both loci. Both 5q13 and 5q21 deletions were significantly linked to advanced tumor stage, high Gleason grade, nodal metastasis and early biochemical recurrence (P < .005 each). Cancers with co-deletion of 5q13 and 5q21 had a worse prognosis than cancers with isolated 5q13 or 5q21 deletion (P = .0080). Comparison with TMPRSS2:ERG fusion status revealed that 5q21 deletions were tightly linked to ERG negativity (P < .0001) while 5q13 deletions were unrelated to the ERG status. In summary, 5q13 deletion and 5q21 deletion are common, but independent genomic alterations with different functional effects lead to aggressive prostate cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bladder cancer is a heterogeneous malignancy. Therefore, it is difficult to find single predictive markers. Moreover, most studies focus on either the immunohistochemical or molecular assessment of tumor tissues by next-generation sequencing (NGS) or PCR, while a combination of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and PCR for tumor marker assessment might have the strongest impact to predict outcome and select optimal therapies in real-world application. We investigated the role of proliferation survivin/BIRC5 and macrophage infiltration (CD68, MAC387, CLEVER-1) on the basis of molecular subtypes of bladder cancer (KRT5, KRT20, ERBB2) to predict outcomes of adjuvant treated muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients with regard to progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We used tissue microarrays (TMA) from n = 50 patients (38 males, 12 female) with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. All patients had been treated with radical cystectomy followed by adjuvant triple chemotherapy. Median follow-up time was 60.5 months. CD68, CLEVER-1, MAC387, and survivin protein were detected by immunostaining and subsequent visual inspection. BIRC5, KRT5, KRT20, ERBB2, and CD68 mRNAs were detected by standardized RT-qPCR after tissue dot RNA extraction using a novel stamp technology. All these markers were evaluated in three different centers of excellence. RESULTS Nuclear staining rather than cytoplasmic staining of survivin predicted DSS as a single marker with high levels of survivin being associated with better PFS and DSS upon adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.0138 and p = 0.001, respectively). These results were validated by the quantitation of BIRC5 mRNA by PCR (p = 0.0004 and p = 0.0508, respectively). Interestingly, nuclear staining of survivin protein was positively associated with BIRC5 mRNA, while cytoplasmic staining was inversely related, indicating that the translocation of survivin protein into the nucleus occurred at a discrete, higher level of its mRNA. Combining survivin/BIRC5 levels based on molecular subtype being assessed by KRT20 expression improved the predictive value, with tumors having low survivin/BIRC5 and KRT20 mRNA levels having the best survival (75% vs. 20% vs. 10% 5-year DSS, p = 0.0005), and these values were independent of grading, node status, and tumor stage in multivariate analysis (p = 0.0167). Macrophage infiltration dominated in basal tumors and was inversely related with the luminal subtype marker gene expression. The presence of macrophages in survivin-positive or ERBB2-positive tumors was associated with worse DSS. CONCLUSIONS For muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients, the proliferative activity as determined by the nuclear staining of survivin or RT-qPCR on the basis of molecular subtype characteristics outperforms single marker detections and single technology approaches. Infiltration by macrophages detected by IHC or PCR is associated with worse outcome in defined subsets of tumors. The limitations of this study are the retrospective nature and the limited number of patients. However, the number of molecular markers has been restricted and based on predefined assumptions, which resulted in the dissection of muscle-invasive disease into tumor-biological axes of high prognostic relevance, which warrant further investigation and validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kallikrein-related peptidase 2 (KLK2)-like KLK3 (prostate-specific antigen [PSA])-belongs to the highly conserved serine proteases of the glandular kallikrein protein family (KLK family). Studies suggested that measurement of KLK2 serum levels advanced the predictive accuracy of PSA testing in prostate cancer. METHODS To clarify the potential utility of KLK2 as a prognostic tissue biomarker, KLK2 expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in more than 12 000 prostate cancers. RESULTS Normal epithelium cells usually showed weak to moderate KLK2 immunostaining, whereas KLK2 was negative in 23%, weak in 38%, moderate in 35%, and strong in 4% of 9576 analyzable cancers. Lost or reduced KLK2 immunostaining was associated with advanced tumor stage, high Gleason score, lymph node metastasis, increased cell proliferation, positive resection margin, and early PSA recurrence (P < .0001). Comparison with previously analyzed molecular alterations revealed a strong association of KLK2 loss and presence of TMPRSS2:ERG fusion (P < .0001), most of all analyzed common deletions (9 of 11; P ≤ .03), and decreased PSA immunostaining (P < .0001 each). Cancers with combined negative or weak immunostaining of KLK2 and PSA showed worse prognosis than cancers with at least moderate staining of one or both proteins (P < .0001). Multivariate analyses including established preoperative and postoperative prognostic parameters showed a strong independent prognostic impact of KLK2 loss alone or in combination of PSA, especially in erythroblast transformation-specific-negative cancers (P ≤ .006). CONCLUSIONS Loss of KLK2 expression is a potentially useful prognostic marker in prostate cancer. Analysis of KLK2 alone or in combination with PSA may be useful for estimating cancer aggressiveness at the time of biopsy.

Abstract
B7-H3 is a member of the B7 superfamily of immune checkpoint molecules. B7-H3 up regulation has been linked to cancer development and progression in many tumors including prostate cancer. To clarify the potential utility of B7-H3 as a prognostic biomarker, B7-H3 expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in more than 17 000 prostate cancers. Normal prostatic glands were largely B7-H3 negative, while membranous B7-H3 immunostaining was seen in 47.0% of analyzed cancers. B7-H3 immunostaining was weak in 12.3%, moderate in 21.1% and strong in 13.5% of cases. High B7-H3 expression was associated with pT, Gleason score, lymph node metastasis, high Ki67 labeling index and early prostate-specific antigen recurrence (P < 0.0001 each). High B7-H3 expression was also linked to high androgen receptor expression and TMPRSS2:V-ets avian erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog (ERG) fusions (P < 0.0001 each). Multivariate analyses showed a strong independent prognostic impact of high B7-H3 expression in all cancers and in the ERG negative subgroup. Comparison with previously analyzed frequent chromosomal deletions revealed a close association with Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog deletions. Analysis of B7-H3, alone or in combination with other markers, might be of clinical utility, especially in the subgroup of ERG negative prostate cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in diagnostic methods and in radiotherapy now increasingly enable repeat radiotherapy with curative intent for the treatment of previously irradiated lesions. In this review, we present data on oncological outcomes and on acute and late sequelae, as far as these are currently known, in patients with head and neck tumors (HNT) or prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent repeat radiotherapy after prior radiotherapy with curative intent. METHODS This review is based on clinical series with over 20 patients that were published between May 1998 and April 2018 (HNT) or between October 1998 and October 2018 (PCa) and were retrieved by a search in the PubMed database. RESULTS Most of the clinical series retrieved were retrospective and uncontrolled. There were 16 studies that included 2678 patients with recurrent head and neck tumors, and 8 that included 245 patients with recurrent prostate cancer. In patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, intensity-modulated radio - therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) yielded three-year survival rates of 47-57% but also produced substantial acute and late adverse effects. Most of the studies concerning recurrent PCa involved small patient groups. In these studies, repeat radiotherapy with SBRT yielded tumor control rates of 40-80% after 11-24 months of follow-up, with only mild acute toxicity. CONCLUSION Although no comparative studies are available, it seems that modern external beam radiotherapy techniques can be used for repeat radiotherapy of locally recurrent head and neck tumors with curative intent after careful patient selection. Repeat radiotherapy of PCa must still be considered experimental, but initial results from small-scale trials are encouraging. The long-term adverse effects cannot yet be accessed. Patients should be selected by an interdisciplinary tumor board. This type of treatment is generally carried out in a specialized center.

Evolution of Targeted Prostate Biopsy by Adding Micro-Ultrasound to the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pathway. Eur Urol Focus 2020; 7:1292-1299. [PMID: 32654967 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2020.06.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) revolutionized the implementation of prostate biopsies, a considerable amount of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) is missed when performing mpMRI-targeted biopsies only. Microultrasound (micro-US) is a new modality that allows real-time targeting of suspicious regions. OBJECTIVE To evaluate micro-US of the prostate with real-time targeting of suspicious regions in patients suspected to have prostate cancer (PCa). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We examined 159 patients with prior mpMRI and suspicion of PCa with micro-US in the period from February to December 2018. Micro-US lesions were documented according to the prostate risk identification for micro-US (PRI-MUS) protocol, and were blinded to the mpMRI results and targeted independently of the mpMRI lesions. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The main outcomes were cancer detection rate, additional detection of csPCa, and International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group upgrading via micro-US. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS PCa was found in 113/159 (71%) men, with 49% (78/159) having clinically significant cancer (csPCa; ISUP ≥ 2). Micro-US-targeted biopsies resulted in a higher ISUP grade group than the nontargeted biopsies in 26% (42/159), compared with both nontargeted and MRI-targeted biopsies in 16% (26/159). In 17% (27/159) of patients, targeted mpMRI-guided biopsy was negative with cancer identified in the micro-US-guided biopsy, of whom 20 had csPCa. The comparison with only MRI-positive patients is the main limitation of this analysis. CONCLUSIONS Our data show an added benefit of micro-US in addition to mpMRI-targeted biopsies in a population of men at risk of PCa. A novel biopsy protocol with solely targeted biopsy with micro-US and mpMRI seems possible, replacing conventional ultrasound and omitting standard systematic biopsies. PATIENT SUMMARY In this report, we looked at the performance of microultrasound in the setting of diagnosing prostate cancer. We found that microultrasound is a good addition to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate and presents an alternative for men who may not undergo MRI.

Abstract
The ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has a drastic impact on national health care systems. Given the overwhelming demand on facility capacity, the impact on all health care sectors has to be addressed. Solid organ transplantation represents a field with a high demand on staff, intensive care units, and follow-up facilities. The great therapeutic value of organ transplantation has to be weighed against mandatory constraints of health care capacities. In addition, the management of immunosuppressed recipients has to be reassessed during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In addressing these crucial questions, transplant physicians are facing a total lack of scientific evidence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to offer an approach of consensus-based guidance, derived from individual information of 22 transplant societies. Key recommendations were extracted and the degree of consensus among different organizations was calculated. A high degree of consensus was found for temporarily suspending nonurgent transplant procedures and living donation programs. Systematic polymerase chain reaction-based testing of donors and recipients was broadly recommended. Additionally, more specific aspects (eg, screening of surgical explant teams and restricted use of marginal donor organs) were included in our analysis. This study offers a novel approach to informed guidance for health care management when a priori no scientific evidence is available.

Abstract
Health care systems worldwide have been facing major challenges since the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Kidney transplantation (KT) has been tremendously affected due to limited personal protective equipment (PPE) and intensive care unit (ICU) capacities. To provide valid information on risk factors for ICU admission in a high-risk cohort of old kidney recipients from old donors in the Eurotransplant Senior Program (ESP), we retrospectively conducted a bi-centric analysis. Overall, 17 (16.2%) patients out of 105 KTs were admitted to the ICU. They had a lower BMI, and both coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertensive nephropathy were more frequent. A risk model combining BMI, CAD and hypertensive nephropathy gained a sensitivity of 94.1% and a negative predictive value of 97.8%, rendering it a valuable search test, but with low specificity (51.1%). ICU admission also proved to be an excellent parameter identifying patients at risk for short patient and graft survivals. Patients admitted to the ICU had shorter patient (1-year 57% vs. 90%) and graft (5-year 49% vs. 77%) survival. To conclude, potential kidney recipients with a low BMI, CAD and hypertensive nephropathy should only be transplanted in the ESP in times of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic if the local health situation can provide sufficient ICU capacities.

Abstract
Background A pre-specified model based on four kallikrein markers in blood, commercially available as 4Kscore, predicts Gleason Grade (GG) 3 + 4 or higher prostate cancer on biopsy. However, sampling error and variation in pathology reporting may miss aggressive disease. Methods The 4Kscore was measured in cryopreserved blood from 2330 men obtained before prostatectomy at a single institution between 2002 and 2010. Adverse surgical pathology and biochemical recurrence (BCR) were pre-specified to be assessed in all men, biopsy GG 3 + 3, and 3 + 4. Results Adjusted for established clinical predictors, the 4Kscore was significantly associated with adverse pathology (OR 1.49; 95% CI 1.32, 1.67; p < 0.0001). Adding 4Kscore increased discrimination from (AUC) 0.672 to 0.718 and 0.644 to 0.659 within biopsy GG 3 + 3 and 3 + 4, respectively. Higher 4Kscore was associated with higher risk of BCR (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.06, 1.26; p = 0.001). Adding 4Kscore improved the prediction of BCR (C-index 0.630–0.660) within GG 3 + 3, but not GG 3 + 4. Conclusions The 4Kscore can help guide the clinical decision whether additional risk assessment—such as confirmatory biopsy—is needed to decide between active surveillance versus curative therapy. Evidence that the panel could influence management in biopsy GG 3 + 4 is less strong and requires further investigation.

Abstract
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNPA1) is a ubiquitous RNA splicing factor that is overexpressed and prognostically relevant in various human cancer types. To study the impact of hnRNPA1 expression in prostate cancer, we analyzed a tissue microarray containing 17,747 clinical prostate cancer specimens by immunohistochemistry. hnRNPA1 was expressed in normal prostate glandular cells but often overexpressed in cancer cells. hnRNPA1 immunostaining was interpretable in 14,258 cancers and considered strong in 33.4%, moderate in 45.9%, weak in 15.3%, and negative in 5.4%. Moderate to strong hnRNPA1 immunostaining was strongly linked to adverse tumor features including high classical and quantitative Gleason score, lymph node metastasis, advanced tumor stage, positive surgical margin, and early biochemical recurrence (p < 0.0001 each). The prognostic impact of hnRNPA1 immunostaining was independent of established preoperatively or postoperatively available prognostic parameters (p < 0.0001). Subset analyses revealed that all these associations were strongly driven by the fraction of cancers lacking the TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion. Comparison with other key molecular data that were earlier obtained on the same TMA showed that hnRNPA1 overexpression was linked to high levels of androgen receptor (AR) expression (p < 0.0001) as well as presence of 9 of 11 chromosomal deletions (p < 0.05 each). A strong association between hnRNPA1 upregulation and tumor cell proliferation that was independent from the Gleason score supports a role for tumor cell aggressiveness. In conclusion, hnRNPA1 overexpression is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in ERG-negative prostate cancer. hnRNPA1 measurement, either alone or in combination, might provide prognostic information in ERG-negative prostate cancer.

Abstract
Pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1 (PTTG1) is a regulator of chromosome stability. PTTG1 overexpression had been associated with tumor aggressiveness in several cancer types. To examine its prognostic utility in prostate cancer, a tissue microarray including 12 427 tumors with clinical and molecular data was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. PTTG1 immunostaining was largely absent in normal prostate epithelial cells. In cancers, staining was considered weak in 5.4%, moderate in 5.6% and strong in 0.8%. Strong staining was linked to advanced pT stage, high classical and quantitative Gleason grade, high Ki67-labeling index (all P < 0.0001) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.0083). The prognostic impact of PTTG1 expression was independent of established preoperative and postoperative prognostic features. Comparison with molecular features revealed that PTTG1 upregulation was associated with nine of 12 common genomic deletions (P < 0.05), p53 alterations and high androgen receptor levels (P < 0.001 each), but was unrelated to the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion status. In conclusion, these data identify PTTG1 as a strong and independent prognostic feature in prostate cancer. PTTG1 measurement, either alone or in combination with other biomarkers might be instrumental for determining prostate cancer aggressiveness.

Abstract
Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHK2) is a serine-threonine kinase with a role in DNA repair, cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in response to DNA damage. Both reduced and increased CHK2 expression has been described in different tumour types with impact on patient prognosis. To evaluate prevalence and significance of altered CHK2 expression in prostate cancer, a tissue microarray containing 17,747 tumours was analysed by immunohistochemistry. Nuclear CHK2 immunostaining was absent or weak in benign prostate epithelium but often more prominent in cancers. CHK2 immunostaining was considered weak in 38.8%, moderate in 33.6% and strong in 11.2% of prostate cancers. High CHK2 expression was strongly associated with TMPRSS2:ERG fusions (p<0.0001). Subgroup analysis of ERG positive and negative cancers revealed that high CHK2 staining was significantly linked to advanced tumour stage, high Gleason score, positive nodal status, positive surgical margin, high preoperative PSA (p<0.0001 each) and early prostate-specific antigen (PSA) recurrence (p=0.0001) in the subset of ERG negative cancers, while most of these associations were absent in ERG positive cancers. In ERG negative cancers, high CHK2 expression was an independent predictor of patient prognosis, even if parameters were included that were only available postoperatively. High CHK2 expression was also linked to presence of chromosomal deletions, high level of androgen receptor expression, positive p53 immunostaining, and high Ki-67 labelling index. These provide further in vivo evidence for previously described functional interactions. In summary, high CHK2 expression is linked to adverse tumour features and independently predicts early biochemical recurrence in ERG negative prostate cancer. CHK2 measurement, either alone or in combination, might be of clinical utility in this prostate cancer subgroup.

Abstract
Altered expression of the carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) has been linked to adverse tumor features in various cancer types. To better understand the role of CEACAM1 in prostate cancer, we analyzed a tissue microarray containing tumor spots from 17,747 prostate cancer patients by means of immunohistochemistry. Normal prostate glands showed intense membranous CEACAM1 positivity. Immunostaining was interpretable in 13,625 cancers and was considered high in 28%, low in 43% and absent in 29% of tumors. Low and lost CEACAM1 expression was strongly linked to adverse tumor features including high classical and quantitative Gleason grade, lymph node metastasis, advanced tumor stage, positive surgical margin, a high number of genomic deletions and early biochemical recurrence (p < 0.0001 each). Subset analysis of molecularly defined cancer subsets revealed that these associations were strongest in V-ets avian erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog (ERG) fusion-positive cancers and that CEACAM1 loss was prognostic even in tumors harboring genomic deletions of the phosphatase and tensin homolog tumor suppressor (p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis suggested that CEACAM1 analysis can provide independent prognostic information beyond established prognosis parameters at the stage of the initial biopsy when therapy decisions must be taken. In conclusion, loss of CEACAM1 expression predicts poor prognosis in prostate cancer and might provide clinically useful prognostic information particularly in cancers harboring the TMPRSS2:ERG fusion.

Abstract
Background TFAP2D is a transcription factor important for modulating gene expression in embryogenesis. Its expression and prognostic role in prostate cancer has not been evaluated. Methods Therefore, a tissue microarray containing 17,747 prostate cancer specimens with associated pathological, clinical, and molecular data was analyzed by immunohistochemistry to assess the role of TFAP2D. Results TFAP2D expression was typically increased in prostate cancer as compared to adjacent non-neoplastic glands. TFAP2D staining was considered negative in 24.3% and positive in 75.7% of 13,545 interpretable cancers. TFAP2D staining was significantly linked to advanced tumor stage, high classical and quantitative Gleason grade, lymph node metastasis, and a positive surgical margin (p ≤ 0.0045). TFAP2D positivity was more common in ERG fusion positive (88.7%) than in ERG negative cancers (66.8%; p < 0.0001). Subset analyses in 3776 cancers with and 4722 cancers without TMPRSS2:ERG fusion revealed that associations with tumor phenotype and patient outcome were largely driven by the subset of ERG negative tumors. Multivariate analysis did not identify TFAP2D protein expression levels as a robust independent prognostic parameter. Positive TFAP2D immunostaining was significantly associated with 10 of 11 previously analyzed chromosomal deletions in ERG negative cancers (p ≤ 0.0244 each) indicating that elevated TFAP2D expression parallels genomic instability in prostate cancer. Conclusion These data demonstrate that TFAP2D protein overexpression is linked to prostate cancer progression and genomic instability in ERG negative prostate cancers.

Abstract
Background: Remodelling and spacing factor 1 (RSF1) is involved in the regulation of chromatin remodelling and represents a potential therapeutic target. High RSF1 expression has been linked to adverse tumour features in many cancer types, but its role in prostate cancer is uncertain.Methods: In this study, RSF1 expression was analysed by immunohistochemistry on a tissue microarray with 17,747 prostate cancers.Results: Nuclear RSF1 staining of 16,456 interpetable cancers was considered strong, moderate, weak and negative in 25.2%, 48.7%, 5.3% and 20.8% of cancers respectively. Positive RSF1 expression was associated with advanced tumour stage, high Gleason grade, lymph node metastasis (p < .0001 each), early biochemical recurrence (p < .0003) and more frequent in the ERG positive than in the ERG negative subset (88% versus 71%; p < .0001). Subset analysis revealed, that associations between RSF1 expression and unfavourable tumour phenotype and PSA recurrence were present in both subgroups but stronger in the ERG negative than in the ERG positive subset. The univariate Cox proportional hazard ratio for PSA recurrence-free survival for strong versus negative RSF1 expression was a weak 1.60 compared with 5.91 for the biopsy Gleason grade ≥4 + 4 versus ≤3 + 3. The positive association of RSF1 protein detection with deletion of 3p13, 10q23 (PTEN), 12p13, 16q23, and 17p13 (p < .0001 each) suggest a role of high RSF1 expression in the development of genomic instability.Conclusion: In summary, the results of our study identify RSF1 as an independent prognostic marker in prostate cancer with a particularly strong role in ERG negative cases.

Abstract
The role of subcellular survivin compartmentalization in the biology and prognosis of prostate cancer is unclear. We therefore investigated subcellular localization of survivin in more than 3000 prostate cancer patients by quantitative immunohistochemistry and performed transcriptomics of 250 prostate cancer patients and healthy donors using publicly available datasets. Survivin (BIRC5) gene expression was increased in primary prostate cancers and metastases, but did not differ in recurrent vs non-recurrent prostate cancers. Survivin immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was limited exclusively to the nucleus in 900 prostate cancers (40.0%), and accompanied by various levels of cytoplasmic positivity in 1338 tumors (59.4%). 0.5% of prostate cancers did not express survivin. Nuclear and cytoplasmic survivin staining intensities were strongly associated with each other, pT category, and higher Gleason scores. Cytoplasmic but not nuclear survivin staining correlated with high tumor cell proliferation in prostate cancers. Strong cytoplasmic survivin staining, but not nuclear staining predicted an unfavorable outcome in univariate analyses. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that survivin is not an independent prognostic marker. In conclusion, we provide evidence that survivin expression is increased in prostate cancers, especially in metastatic disease, resulting in higher aggressiveness and tumor progression. In addition, subcellular compartmentalization is an important aspect of survivin cancer biology, as only cytoplasmic, but not nuclear survivin accumulation is linked to biological aggressiveness and prognosis of prostate cancers.

Abstract
346 Background: Prolaris combines RNA expression analysis of cell cycle progression genes with clinicopathologic information to create a combined clinical cell-cycle risk score (CCR). We evaluated the ability of CCR to predict metastasis (mets) in men for whom guidelines indicate that multimodality therapy (MTx) should be considered. Methods: A commercial cohort (N=15669) of National Comprehensive Cancer Network unfavorable intermediate-risk (UFI) and high-risk (HR) men revealed a distribution of 70.5% and 29.5% respectively. A CCR threshold of 2.112 was selected so that 29.5% of these men were above the threshold. MTx was defined as combined use of androgen deprivation therapy with radiation (RT) or surgery, or with adjuvant RT. Associations were evaluated in a 718-person retrospective, multi-institutional database of Prolaris-tested UFI and HR men. Kaplan-Meier (KM) analyses and Cox regressions were used to estimate the effects of prognostic covariates. Results: Median follow-up was 5.13 years. CCR predicted mets in the full cohort (HR =3.8 [2.7,5.2], p<10−15) and after accounting for CAPRA (HR=4.3 [2.7,7.0], p< 10−7). CCR also was a significant predictor of mets in patients who received STx, as a continuous predictor (HR=4.0 [2.6,6.1], p<10−9) and when dichotomized at the threshold (HR=15.9 [5.4,46.5], p< 10−9). The KM probability of mets by 10 years for those below and above the threshold was 4.3% and 20.4% respectively. MTx reduced patients’ risk of mets (HR=0.46 [0.22,0.97], p=0.04), and treatment benefit can be evaluated as a function of CCR score (Table). Conclusions: The CCR score prognosticates a clinically meaningful different risk of metastasis for those receiving MTx versus STx. Approximately 27% and 73% of people with HR or UFI risk cancer have CCR scores below the risk threshold and may consider STx after considering the difference in risk of mets.[Table: see text]

Abstract
Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1-3. Here we report the integrative analysis of 2,658 whole-cancer genomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types from the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We describe the generation of the PCAWG resource, facilitated by international data sharing using compute clouds. On average, cancer genomes contained 4-5 driver mutations when combining coding and non-coding genomic elements; however, in around 5% of cases no drivers were identified, suggesting that cancer driver discovery is not yet complete. Chromothripsis, in which many clustered structural variants arise in a single catastrophic event, is frequently an early event in tumour evolution; in acral melanoma, for example, these events precede most somatic point mutations and affect several cancer-associated genes simultaneously. Cancers with abnormal telomere maintenance often originate from tissues with low replicative activity and show several mechanisms of preventing telomere attrition to critical levels. Common and rare germline variants affect patterns of somatic mutation, including point mutations, structural variants and somatic retrotransposition. A collection of papers from the PCAWG Consortium describes non-coding mutations that drive cancer beyond those in the TERT promoter4; identifies new signatures of mutational processes that cause base substitutions, small insertions and deletions and structural variation5,6; analyses timings and patterns of tumour evolution7; describes the diverse transcriptional consequences of somatic mutation on splicing, expression levels, fusion genes and promoter activity8,9; and evaluates a range of more-specialized features of cancer genomes8,10-18.

Abstract
Survivin is an inhibitor of apoptosis. Aberrant survivin expression occurs in malignant tumors and has often been linked to unfavorable patient outcome. Here we analyzed 12 432 prostate cancers by immunohistochemistry. Survivin immunostaining was regularly expressed at high levels in normal prostate epithelium but expression was often reduced in prostate cancers. Among 9492 evaluable prostate cancers, 9% expressed survivin strongly, 19% moderately, 28% weakly, and 44% lacked it. Loss of cytoplasmic survivin was seen in advanced tumor stage, higher Gleason score, preoperative PSA levels, and Ki‐67 labeling index, and associated with earlier PSA recurrence (P < .0001). Survivin loss was significantly more common in cancers carrying TMPRSS2:ERG fusions (61% survivin negative) than in ERG wild‐type cancers (32% survivin negative; P < .0001). Multivariate analysis revealed that reduced cytoplasmic survivin expression predicted poor prognosis independent from Gleason score, pT, pN, and serum PSA level. This was valid for ERG‐positive and ERG‐negative cancers. Survivin expression loss even retained its prognostic impact in 1020 PTEN deleted cancers, a group that is already characterized by dismal patient prognosis. In conclusion, reduced survivin expression is associated with more aggressive tumors and inferior prognosis in prostate cancer.
