Given the utility of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) biomarkers, the development of urinary cfDNA biomarkers may improve the diagnostic sensitivity. METHODS: We assessed copy number aberrations (CNAs) by shallow genome-wide sequencing of urinary cfDNA in 95 cancer-free individuals and 65 UC, 58 kidney cancer and 45 prostate cancer patients. We used a support vector machine (SVM) to develop a diagnostic classifier based on CNA profiles to detect UC (UCdetector). The model was further validated in an independent cohort (52 cases). Genome sequencing data of tumor specimens from 90 upper tract urothelial cancers (UTUC) and CNA data for 410 urothelial carcinomas of bladder (UCB) from TCGA were used to validate the classifier. Genome sequencing data for urine sediments of 32 UC patients were compared with cfDNA. To monitor the treatment efficacy, we collected cfDNA from 7 post-treatment patients. RESULTS: We showed that urinary cfDNA could be a more sensitive alternative to urinary sediment. The UCdetector can detect UC at a median sensitivity of 86.5% and specificity of 94.7%. The UCdetector performed well in an independent validation dataset. Notably, the CNA features selected by UCdetector were specific markers for both UTUC and UCB. Moreover, the CNA changes in cfDNA were consistent with the treatment effects. Meanwhile, the same strategy could localize genitourinary cancers to tissue-of-origin in 70.1% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings underscore the potential utility of urinary cfDNA CNA profiles as a basis for non-invasive UC detection and surveillance.
