Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

ProCSUCaB (Prospective Collection of Samples for Urothelial Cancer of Bladder) is a monocentric, non-interventional, prospective registry that will recruit newly diagnosed intermediate- and high-risk NMIBC patients in a tertiary center in Flanders.

Clinical data and biosamples (blood, urine, and BC tissue) will be collected from each patient at the initial diagnosis before the surgery and will be stored at -80 °C at the BioBank UZ Leuven after proper processing according to the protocol. High-throughput multi-omics (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics) and immunohistopathology analyses will be performed on these samples.

Patients of both sex and aged ≥18 years, with a signal of clinical diagnosis of BC (symptoms and/or imaging), are eligible to participate in this study. Patients, who give their informed consent to collect their biological materials prior to surgery, will be included in the study after the histopathological diagnosis of the TURBT specimen shows an intermediate- or high-risk NMIBC. Only the data of the patients with a TCC, with the allowance of any variant histopathological subtype, will be analyzed.

All patients will be treated and followed up with the standard of care based on the recommendations of the EAU Guidelines according to their risk groups. All follow-ups will be scheduled for 5 years as most of the recurrences or progressions occur during this period.

To comply with local privacy laws, all demographic and clinical data (for initial diagnosis and following recurrences and/or progressions) will be prospectively stored in a specific database, which is implemented into the hospital's electronic patient file system, and protected by firewalls \[24\]. All patients will receive a study identification number, and names (or any other identifying data) will be removed from the collected biosamples; therefore, all -omics and pathology laboratories will not know the identity and clinical data of the patients. The correspondence between the study identification numbers and patient names will be kept by only the urology department in a secured database.

Blood, urine and BC tissue samples will be collected at the initial diagnosis for every patient. Blood and urine will be collected by the nurses in the inpatient department in the morning prior to TURBT. After processing by the dedicated personnel, they will be sent to the BioBank UZ Leuven, which has continuously monitored and alarmed freezers, robotic handling, and storage system, and has implemented the Standard Pre-analytical Code (SPREC).

Blood collection: In the morning prior to TURBT (between 07:00-11:00 am), blood will be taken from the patients into five separate tubes (4x 10 mL EDTA tubes for genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics; 1x 6 mL EDTA tube for lipidomics and metabolomics). Collection date and time will be recorded in the 'Urine/Blood Sampling Form' by the nurse. All blood tubes will be inverted gently 10 times after blood collection. All EDTA tubes will immediately be put in the refrigerator at +4°C in upright position until centrifugation. All blood samples will be centrifuged within 4 hours of collection, and centrifuge date and time will be recorded in the 'Blood Processing and Storage Form'. After processing all blood samples according to the specific protocol of each analysis, all plasma/pellet/whole blood samples in cryovials will be sent to the BioBank UZ Leuven to be stored at -80 °C, and the date and time of the sample acceptance will also be recorded.

Urine collection: A total of 230 mL of mid-stream urine will be collected into five tubes from the second urine in the morning (between 07:00-11:00 am) before TURBT. The patient should be well hydrated. Collection date and time will be recorded in the 'Urine/Blood Sampling Form' by the nurse. The urine samples will immediately be stored at +4 °C in the refrigerator and processed within 2 hours after collection, and centrifuge date and time will be recorded in the 'Urine Processing and Storage Form'. After processing all urine samples according to the specific protocol of each analysis, all samples in cryovials will be sent to the BioBank UZ Leuven to be stored at -80 °C, and the date and time of the sample acceptance will also be recorded.

Tissue collection: During TURBT, if the tumor is large enough (\>10 mm in diameter), a big chip that includes the tumor stalk will be cut with the resectoscope. The sample will be put in a cryovial, and sent to the BioBank immediately thereafter. The date and time of collection and acceptance will be recorded in the 'Tissue Sampling and Storage Form'. Cryosection will be performed from frozen samples by a uropathologist before -omics analyses to check for presence and area of intermediate- and high-risk NMIBC. After the uropathologist's report, frozen samples will be dissected to take parts enriched in tumor cells. The histopathological diagnosis of the patients will be made according to the hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of the slides from the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks, which will determine the ultimate inclusion of the intermediate- and high-risk NMIBC patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NMIBC

Patients diagnosed with primary non-muscle-invasive bladder (NMIBC) cancer.

No experimental intervention will be administered. NMIBC patients will be diagnosed, treated and followed up according to guidelines-based institutional routines.

The clinical (demographic, operative and follow-up) and pathological data, and biosamples (blood, urine, bladder cancer tissue) of the patients will be collected in a completely anonymous way.

No interventions assigned to this group
