Urachal cancer, a rare malignancy, generally presents in the clinical setting with advanced stages of disease. Systemic treatment chemotherapy is utilized this setting. However, there remains paucity data on effectiveness immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapies for urachal cancer. We analyzed genomic profile cancer order to identify potentially targetable mutations and evaluate tumor microenvironment. 42 samples were retrospectively analyzed. Our results showed that TP53, GNAS...

Abstract Background. Pemetrexed is a commonly used treatment for platinum-resistant advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) based on objective response rates of 8% and 28% in two small phase II studies. To address the discrepancy reported to assess efficacy toxicity outside clinical trial setting, we performed large retrospective analysis pemetrexed use at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. We also investigated candidate prognostic factors overall survival this setting explore whether...
