Metastasis and recurrence patterns in the molecular subtypes of urothelial bladder cancer
Urothelial cancer of the urinary bladder frequently metastasizes to lymph-nodes, lungs, liver and bone. A taxonomy for molecular classification exists, but it is unknown if molecular subtypes show tropism for different organs. Here, we study 146 patients with de novo metastatic disease or recurrence after curative treatment. We classify primary tumors using two transcriptomic methods and immunosta
