Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is associated with improved overall and cancer-specific survival. The post-NAC pathological stage has previously been reported to be a major determinant of outcome. OBJECTIVE To develop a postoperative nomogram for survival based on pathological and clinical parameters from an international consortium. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Between 2000 and 2015, 1866 patients with MIBC were treated at 19 institutions in the USA, Canada, and Europe. Analysis was limited to 640 patients with adequate follow-up who had received three or more cycles of NAC. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS A nomogram for bladder cancer-specific mortality (BCSM) was developed by multivariable Cox regression analysis. Decision curve analysis was used to assess the model's clinical utility. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS A total of 640 patients were identified. Downstaging to non-MIBC (ypT1, ypTa, and ypTis) occurred in 271 patients (42 %), and 113 (17 %) achieved a complete response (ypT0N0). The 5-yr BCSM was 47.2 % (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 41.2-52.6 %). On multivariable analysis, covariates with a statistically significant association with BCSM were lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio [HR] 1.90 [95% CI: 1.4-2.6]; p < 0.001), positive surgical margins (HR 2.01 [95 % CI: 1.3-2.9]; p < 0.001), and pathological stage (with ypT0/Tis/Ta/T1 as reference: ypT2 [HR 2.77 {95 % CI: 1.7-4.6}; p < 0.001] and ypT3-4 [HR 5.9 {95 % CI: 3.8-9.3}; p < 0.001]). The area under the curve of the model predicting 5-yr BCSM after cross validation with 300 bootstraps was 75.4 % (95 % CI: 68.1-82.6 %). Decision curve analyses showed a modest net benefit for the use of the BCSM nomogram in the current cohort compared with the use of American Joint Committee on Cancer staging alone. Limitations include the retrospective study design and the lack of central pathology. CONCLUSIONS We have developed and internally validated a nomogram predicting BCSM after NAC and radical cystectomy for MIBC. The nomogram will be useful for patient counseling and in the identification of patients at high risk for BCSM suitable for enrollment in clinical trials of adjuvant therapy. PATIENT SUMMARY In this report, we looked at the outcomes of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer in a large multi-institutional population. We found that we can accurately predict death after radical surgical treatment in patients treated with chemotherapy before surgery. We conclude that the pathological report provides key factors for determining survival probability.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to determine the significance of androgen receptor (AR) expression in urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (UTUC). METHODS AR expression was assessed on tissue microarrays containing specimens of 737 patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy with curative intent. AR expression was correlated with clinical and pathological tumor features as well as recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Overall, AR was expressed in 11 % of tumors. AR expression was significantly associated with tumor necrosis as well as sessile and multifocal tumor growth but not with RFS, CSS or OS. AR was detected nearly twice as often in tumors of the ureter than of the pelvicalyceal system (p = 0.005). Subgroup analyses showed that the significant associations of AR with unfavorable pathologic features were exclusively attributable to tumors located in the ureter. However, in both ureteral and pelvicalyceal tumors, AR status was independent of RFS, CSS and OS. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort of patients treated with RNU, AR expression was found in approximately 10 % of UTUCs, twice as often in ureteral than in pelvicalyceal tumors. While AR expression had no impact on postoperative prognosis, it was significantly associated with unfavorable pathologic features in ureteral tumors. Steroid hormone signaling might be relevant for future investigations of differences between ureteral and pelvicalyceal tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) is an actionable target in bladder cancer. Preclinical studies show that anti-FGFR3 treatment slows down tumor growth, suggesting that this tyrosine kinase receptor is a candidate for personalized bladder cancer treatment, particularly in patients with mutated FGFR3. We addressed tumor heterogeneity in a large multicenter, multi-laboratory study, as this may have significant impact on therapeutic response. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated possible FGFR3 heterogeneity by the PCR-SNaPshot method in the superficial and deep compartments of tumors obtained by transurethral resection (TUR, n = 61) and in radical cystectomy (RC, n = 614) specimens and corresponding cancer-positive lymph nodes (LN+, n = 201). RESULTS We found FGFR3 mutations in 13/34 (38%) T1 and 8/27 (30%) ≥T2-TUR samples, with 100% concordance between superficial and deeper parts in T1-TUR samples. Of eight FGFR3 mutant ≥T2-TUR samples, only 4 (50%) displayed the mutation in the deeper part. We found 67/614 (11%) FGFR3 mutations in RC specimens. FGFR3 mutation was associated with pN0 (P < 0.001) at RC. In 10/201 (5%) LN+, an FGFR3 mutation was found, all concordant with the corresponding RC specimen. In the remaining 191 cases, RC and LN+ were both wild type. CONCLUSIONS FGFR3 mutation status seems promising to guide decision-making on adjuvant anti-FGFR3 therapy as it appeared homogeneous in RC and LN+. Based on the results of TUR, the deep part of the tumor needs to be assessed if neoadjuvant anti-FGFR3 treatment is considered. We conclude that studies on the heterogeneity of actionable molecular targets should precede clinical trials with these drugs in the perioperative setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the increasing use of robotic surgery in the United States, the comparative effectiveness and differences in reimbursement of minimally invasive radical prostatectomy (MIRP) and open prostatectomy (ORP) in privately insured patients are unknown. Therefore, we sought to assess the differences in perioperative outcomes and hospital reimbursement in a privately insured patient population who were surgically treated for prostate cancer. METHODS Using a large private insurance database, we identified 17,610 prostate cancer patients who underwent either MIRP or ORP from 2003 to 2010. The primary outcomes were length of stay (LOS), perioperative complications, 90-day readmissions rates and hospital reimbursement. Multivariable regression analyses were used to evaluate for differences in primary outcomes across surgical approaches. RESULTS Overall, 8981 (51.0%) and 8629 (49.0%) surgically treated prostate cancer patients underwent MIRP and ORP, respectively. The proportion of patients undergoing MIRP markedly rose from 11.9% in 2003 to 72.5% in 2010 (P<0.001 for trend). Relative to ORP, MIRP was associated with a shorter median LOS (1.0 day vs 3.0 days; P<0.001) and lower adjusted odds ratio of perioperative complications (OR: 0.82; P<0.001). However, the 90-day readmission rates of MIRP and ORP were similar (OR: 0.99; P=0.76). MIRP provided higher adjusted mean hospital reimbursement compared with ORP (US $19,292 vs. US $17,347; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Among privately insured patients diagnosed with prostate cancer, robotic surgery rapidly disseminated with over 70% of patients undergoing MIRP by 2009-2010. Although MIRP was associated with shorter LOS and modestly better perioperative outcomes, hospitals received higher reimbursement for MIRP compared with ORP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and transitional carcinoma with squamous differentiation (SCC/TCC) are rare in western countries. Chronic inflammation and irritation of the urothelium are common risk factors for the development of SCC and TCC/SCC. Tumour biology of squamous cell cancer and precancerous squamous lesions is different from transitional cell cancer (TCC). Recent advances in molecular analysis of benign and malignant squamous cell lesions indicate that they are closely associated and might lead to improved bladder cancer subclassification in the future. AIM At present, the clinical management and therapy of SCC remains challenging, as scientific evidence based on prospective clinical trials is not available. We performed an analysis of available literature on natural history, treatment, and prognosis of SCC, SCC/TCC and metaplastic lesions. Furthermore, recent findings in molecular cancer biology are discussed with a focus on their relevance for SCC carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that pharmacologic inhibition of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), a nuclear protein that is crucial in signaling single-strand DNA breaks, is synthetically lethal to cancer cells from patients with genetic deficiency in the DNA repair proteins BRCA1 and BRCA2. Herein, we demonstrate that depletion of the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) in breast, prostate and thyroid transformed cells resulted in elevated steady-state cytosolic calcium concentration and activation of calcineurin/PI3-kinase/AKT signaling leading to upregulation of miR-1245 and the ubiquitin ligase Skp2, two potent negative regulators of the tumor suppressor protein BRCA2, thus resulting in BRCA2 protein depletion, severe reduction in homologous recombination (HR) and increased sensitivity to the PARP inhibitor rucaparib. Treatment of mtDNA-depleted cells with the PI3-kinase inhibitor LY294002, the calmodulin antagonist W-7, the calcineurin inhibitor FK506, the calcium chelator BAPTA-AM, or suppression of AKT activity by AKT small-interfering RNA (siRNA) enhanced BRCA2 protein levels as well as HR. Decreasing the intracellular calcium levels using BAPTA, or direct reconstitution of BRCA2 protein levels either by recombinant expression or by small molecule inhibition of both Skp2 and miR-1245 restored sensitivity to rucaparib to wild-type levels. Furthermore, by studying prostate tissue specimens from prostate carcinoma patients we found a direct correlation between the presence of mtDNA large deletions and loss of BRCA2 protein in vivo, suggesting that mtDNA status may serve as a marker to predict therapeutic efficacy to PARP inhibitors. In summary, our results uncover a novel mechanism by which mtDNA depletion restrains HR, and highlight the role of mtDNA in regulating sensitivity to PARP inhibitors in transformed cells.

Abstract
AIMS Evidence suggests a detrimental effect of diabetes mellitus (DM) on cancer incidence and outcomes. To date, the effect of DM and its treatment on prognosis in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) remains uninvestigated. We tested the hypothesis that DM and metformin use impact oncologic outcomes of patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for UTUC. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 2492 patients with UTUC treated at 23 institutions with RNU without neoadjuvant therapy. Cox regression models addressed the association of DM and metformin use with disease recurrence, cancer-specific mortality and any-cause mortality. RESULTS A total of 365 (14.3%) patients had DM and 194 (7.8%) patients used metformin. Within a median follow-up of 36 months, 663 (26.6%) patients experienced disease recurrence, 545 patients (21.9%) died of UTUC and 884 (35.5%) patients died from any cause. Diabetic patients who did not use metformin were at significantly higher risk of disease recurrence and cancer-specific death compared to non-diabetic patients and diabetic patients who used metformin. In multivariable Cox regression analyses, DM treated without metformin was associated with worse recurrence-free survival (HR: 1.44, 95% CI 1.10-1.90, p = 0.009) and cancer-specific mortality (HR: 1.49, 95% CI 1.11-2.00, p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Diabetic UTUC patients without metformin use have significantly worse oncologic outcomes than diabetics who used metformin and non-diabetics. The possible mechanism behind the impact of DM on UTUC biology and the potentially protective effect of metformin need further elucidation.

Abstract
Background: The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) risk tables and the Spanish Urological Club for Oncological Treatment (CUETO) scoring model are the two best-established predictive tools to help decision making for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The aim of the current study was to assess the performance of these predictive tools in a large multicentre cohort of NMIBC patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 4689 patients with NMIBC. To evaluate the discrimination of the models, we created Cox proportional hazard regression models for time to disease recurrence and progression. We incorporated the patients calculated risk score as a predictor into both of these models and then calculated their discrimination (concordance indexes). We compared the concordance index of our models with the concordance index reported for the models. Results: With a median follow-up of 57 months, 2110 patients experienced disease recurrence and 591 patients experienced disease progression. Both tools exhibited a poor discrimination for disease recurrence and progression (0.597 and 0.662, and 0.523 and 0.616, respectively, for the EORTC and CUETO models). The EORTC tables overestimated the risk of disease recurrence and progression in high-risk patients. The discrimination of the EORTC tables was even lower in the subgroup of patients treated with BCG (0.554 and 0.576 for disease recurrence and progression, respectively). Conversely, the discrimination of the CUETO model increased in BCG-treated patients (0.597 and 0.645 for disease recurrence and progression, respectively). However, both models overestimated the risk of disease progression in high-risk patients. Conclusion: The EORTC risk tables and the CUETO scoring system exhibit a poor discrimination for both disease recurrence and progression in NMIBC patients. These models overestimated the risk of disease recurrence and progression in high-risk patients. These overestimations remained in BCG-treated patients, especially for the EORTC tables. These results underline the need for improving our current predictive tools. However, our study is limited by its retrospective and multi-institutional design.

Abstract
PURPOSE We evaluated the economic impact of preventing recurrent stones using a strategy of increased water intake and determined the impact of compliance on cost-effectiveness for the French health care system. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Markov model was constructed to compare costs and outcomes for recurrent kidney stone formers with less than 2 L vs 2 L or more daily fluid intake. Model assumptions included an annual prevalence of 120,000 stone episodes in France, 14.4% annual risk of stone recurrence and a 55% risk reduction in subjects with adequate water intake. Costs were based on resource use as estimated by a panel of experts and official national price lists. Outcomes were from the perspective of the public health payer, and encompassed direct and indirect costs. RESULTS The total cost of an episode of urolithiasis was estimated at €4,267 including the cost of treatment and complications. This corresponds to an annual budget impact of €88 million for recurrent stones based on 21,000 stone events. Assuming 100% compliance with fluid intake recommendations of 2 L daily, 11,572 new stones might be prevented, resulting in a cost savings of €49 million. Compliance with water intake in only 25% of patients would still result in 2,893 fewer stones and a cost savings of €10 million. Varying the costs of managing stones had a smaller impact on outcomes since in many patients stones do not form. Varying the incidence of complications did not change the incidence of stones and had a negligible effect on overall cost. CONCLUSIONS Preventing recurrent urolithiasis has a significant cost savings potential for a payer as a result of a reduced stone burden. However, compliance is an important factor in determining cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
251 Background: The ideal surveillance regimen for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is uncertain. Given different grade- and stage-specific risks of recurrence and progression, there is some question whether it might be acceptable to pursue less intensive surveillance practices for patients with lower risk disease, and there is a paucity of data on current patterns of care in this area of practice. Methods: An electronic survey was developed by the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) to elicit self-reported practices of cystoscopy, cytology, and radiographic testing in the setting of surveillance for patients with a history of NMIBC. The survey was circulated to urologists via the AUA, SUO and LUGPA distribution lists. 512 respondents completed the survey. Results: Among respondents, 66% report performing cystoscopy every 3 months on all patients for at least the first two years following diagnosis of NMIBC. The remaining 33% report performing surveillance cystoscopy less frequently, 95% of whom report doing so in the setting of low grade pathology. Similarly, 51% report using cytology with every cystoscopy, 23% do so for all high grade cases, and 30% report not using cytology with every cystoscopy. In the absence of recurrence for patients with an initial high grade diagnosis, upper tract reimaging is performed annually in 48%, biannually in 37% and never in 3%. The corresponding figures for patients with an index diagnosis of low grade disease are 14%, 37% and 28%, respectively. In the event of a recurrence in the bladder, 80% of respondents report reimaging the upper tracts for patients with high grade disease, versus 45% in the event of a low grade recurrence. Conclusions: A substantial number of urologists responding to a survey report using relatively less intensive surveillance practices in patients with lower risk NMIBC. These results suggest a lack of consensus on the ideal intensity of evaluation in this setting, and provide a basis for prospective studies to validate the safest and most cost-effective strategies for surveillance. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
261 Background: In addition to cytologic evaluation, there are currently four urine-based tests approved by the FDA for bladder cancer detection. At this point, the Guidelines panels from the AUA and EAU do not make specific recommendations about the ideal role of these tests. Furthermore, there is a paucity of data on current patterns of care in this area of practice. Methods: An electronic survey was developed by the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) to elicit self-reported practices of the use of cytology and urine-based markers in the settings of general use, surveillance, and assessment of response after intravesical therapy for patients with NMIBC. The survey was circulated to urologists via the AUA, SUO and LUGPA distribution lists. 512 respondents completed the survey. Results: Among all respondents, 93% report sending cytology routinely (25% via barbotage) in general use. In contrast, 37% report using NMP22 in this setting, 54% report using FISH, and 32% (45% of SUO respondents vs. 31% of AUA respondents, p=0.04) responded that there is “no role for urine-based markers in this setting.” Similar proportions were reported in the specific settings of routine surveillance and post-BCG assessment. When presented with the vignette of a positive marker test and negative cytology and cystoscopy, 36% chose to proceed to the OR for biopsy, 37% chose to repeat cystoscopy and cytology in 3 months, 21% chose “no role for markers in this setting” and 13% chose “other.” Conclusions: In the absence of more specific guidance, the results of this survey suggest considerable variation in the use and interpretation of urine-based markers in NMIBC. FISH is the marker reported to be used most commonly in multiple settings, however 31-45% of respondents report “no role” for any of the tests in their practice. Greater than one out of three respondents reported taking patients for biopsy under anesthesia in the setting of an isolated positive marker. These preliminary data underscore the need for prospective studies to validate the optimal role of urine-based markers in the setting of NMIBC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
267 Background: Guidelines recommend intravesical chemotherapy and immunotherapy in the management of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to reduce the risks of recurrence and potentially progression. Nevertheless, recent claims-based analyses have suggested exceedingly low rates of utilization of some of these therapies in practice. In general, there is a paucity of data to inform our understanding of current patterns of care. Methods: An electronic survey was developed by the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN) to elicit self-reported practices of utilization of intravesical chemo- and immuno-therapy for patients with NMIBC. The survey was circulated to urologists via the AUA, SUO and LUGPA distribution lists. 512 respondents completed the survey. Results: Overall, 63% of respondents reported routine administration of perioperative mitomycin-c (MMC) after TURBT [80% of SUO respondents vs. 55% of AUA/LUGPA respondents (p<0.001)]. Whereas 5% of respondents reported routine induction therapy with all new low-grade (LG) diagnoses, 99% reported routinely doing so in new high-grade (HG) cases; most commonly with single- agent BCG (94%; vs. 9% BCG/IFN and 5% MMC). Reported induction therapy was higher in the setting of high-volume (77%) or frequently recurrent LG (44%) disease. 89% reported routinely using maintenance therapy for HG, vs. 29% for LG. Reduced strength BCG was most commonly endorsed only in the settings of poor tolerance of full strength (84%) or maintenance (11%), with only 3% endorsing routine use. Routine post-BCG biopsy, even with normal cystoscopy, was endorsed by 28% of respondents, and 64% of respondents used urine-based markers to assess response to intravesical therapy. Conclusions: Urologists report grade-specific patterns of utilization of intravesical therapy for NMIBC, at rates higher than suggested in some claims-based analyses. Variation exists in post-treatment followup practices. Further study is needed to rectify these self-reported patterns of care with results from claims-based analyses. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
