Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Microarray analysis showed that several genes correlated with cell cycle and transcription were up-regulated in the metastatic urothelial carcinoma with poor prognosis. Moreover, immunological classification in the tumor micro environment was classified into two groups significantly correlated with prognosis and tumor grade. Especially, some genes ,which were reported to induce genome instability in urothelial carcinoma, was significantly correlated with prognosis and immunological classification. This result showed that new immunological agents such as anti PD-1 antibody was ideal agents in some metastatic urothelial carcinoma patients.
