Patterns of metastasis and recurrence in urothelial cancer molecular subtypes. Patterns of metastasis and recurrence in urothelial cancer molecular subtypes

This series contains the gene expression data from urothelial bladder cancer samples from Swedish patients that were used to analyze metastatic sites. Included patients have a recurrence or distant metastasis before or after treatment with chemotherapy. Patients with only lymph-node metastases are not included. A previous series (GSE169455) contains data from all patients that recieved two or more cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with curative intent. Patients in that series that developed distant recurrence are re-analyzed here. A few samples from a previous cystectomy series (GSE83586) are also included as re-analysis. In addition, the current series contains data from patients treated with palliative first-line chemotherapy, curative adjuvant chemotherapy, or < 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Raw data should be adjusted in data processing for batch variables: Labeling batch and Labeling kit. Overall design: Retrospective cohort study aiming to study metastatic sites and chemotherapy response in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
