| Molecular Subtype | Key Biomarkers | Clinical Implications | Therapeutic/Response Implications |
|---|---|---|---|
| LumP | FGFR3 mutations/fusions/amplifications (~55%), KDM6A mutations (~38%), CDKN2A deep deletions (~33%) | 24-35% of MIBC. Most favorable prognosis (5-year OS ≈ 65-70%); enriched in younger patients and T2 tumors. | Likely sensitive to FGFR3 inhibitors (erdafitinib, BGJ398); potential biomarker for targeted therapy |
| LumNS | ELF3 mutations (~35%), PPARG alterations (amplifications/fusions ~76%) | 8-12% of MIBC. Older patients (>80 yr), micropapillary histology, carcinoma in situ association. Intermediate outcomes (5-year OS ≈ 50-55%) | Potential benefit from NAC; some enrichment in atezolizumab responders |
| LumU | PPARG alterations (~89%), ERBB2 amplification (~39%), TP53 mutations (~76%), ERCC2 mutations (~22%), high CNA and mutation load | 15-20% of MIBC. Most genomically altered class; poor prognosis trend; high cell cycle activity. Inferior survival (5-year OS ≈ 40-45%) | Potential sensitivity to ERBB2-targeted therapy; association with radiotherapy response; enrichment for atezolizumab response |
| Ba/Sq | TP53 mutations (~61%), RB1 mutations (~25%), concurrent TP53+RB1 in ~14%, EGFR pathway activation, STAT3/HIF1A regulon activity | 20-35% of MIBC. Enriched in females, advanced stage, squamous differentiation; poor prognosis (5-year OS ≈ 35-45%). | Potential sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors; high immune infiltration and immune checkpoint expression → candidates for immunotherapy; possible benefit from NAC |
| NE-like | Ubiquitous TP53 (94%) + RB1 (94%) alterations, high cell cycle activity, neuroendocrine histology (~72%) | Worst prognosis (median OS < 24 months even with multimodal therapy), highly aggressive, rare (~3%) | Potential sensitivity to ICIs; potential radiotherapy responders; parallels with small cell carcinoma treatment |
| SR | High stromal gene expression, no specific driver mutation | ~15% of MIBC. Intermediate survival (5-year OS ≈ 50%). Histology is dominated by stroma | Immune infiltration (T/B cell) but lower ICI response; limited sensitivity to NAC |

ctDNA in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma
Ongoing clinical trials (e.g., NABUCCO, ABACUS, IMvigor010) are exploring the integration of molecular subtyping and ctDNA to optimize personalized therapeutic strategies. For instance, ctDNA clearance post-neoadjuvant immunotherapy (NABUCCO trial) correlated with response, and persistent ctDNA predicted relapse. In the ABACUS trial, ctDNA negativity was associated with better recurrence-free survival, highlighting its potential as a predictive biomarker.
Key Learning: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a promising non-invasive biomarker for real-time tumor monitoring, detection of minimal residual disease, and prediction of recurrence or treatment response in bladder cancer. Its integration with molecular subtyping refines patient stratification and therapeutic guidance.
