Abstract
431 Background: Defining the landscape of genomic alterations in UTUC as well as identifying the genomic differences from UBC, may provide insights into the treatment of UTUC. Methods: We interrogated our enterprise-wide institutional targeted next generation tumor sequencing data to compare genomic alterations in patients with UTUC (n = 25) with UBC (n = 72), irrespective of tumor stage. We described differences in frequencies of somatic mutations and copy number alterations in 300 relevant cancer-associated genes. Results: UTUC and UBC demonstrated differences in somatic alterations. Genes more commonly found in UTUC included FGFR3 (20% v. 7.5%), STAG2 (16% v. 7.5%), RB1 (24% v. 16%), TSC1 (16% v. 5.4%), EP300 (12% v. 5.4%), IGFIR (20% v. 0%), and Notch1 (24% v. 0%) (see table). Alterations in FGFR3 and TP53 co-existed in only on patient. We did identify two UTUC patients with MSH2 alterations, both of whom had previously been diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome. Conclusions: Biologically relevant differences exist between UTUC and UBC. We observed an enrichment of potentially targetable mutations including TSC1 and FGFR3. Findings in the genomic profile underline the need to consider these two locations as unique entities for future biologically driven trials. [Table: see text]
