Tumors with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Homo sapiens

Using whole genome mRNA expression profiling of primary human tumors and unsupervised hierarchical cluster analyses, 3 novel molecular subsets (basal, luminal and p53-like subsets) of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) were identified. 23 MVAC treated samples were used for the validation of three MIBC subsets Overall design: MVAC cohort consisted of 23 FFPE pretreatment tumors (TURs) from a Phase III clinical trial were used to validate 3 molecular subsets including basal, luminal and p53-like subsets We used Illumina cDNA-mediated Annealing, Selection, Extension, and Ligation (DASL) assay that is specifically designed for the gene expression of RNA that is extracted from FFPE.
