Abstract
In this study, we compared complete pathological downstaging (pCD, ≤(y)pT1N0) and overall survival (OS) in patients with cT2 versus cT3-4aN0M0 UC of the bladder undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) with or without neoadjuvant chemo- (NAC) or radiotherapy (NAR). A population-based sample of 5,517 patients, who underwent upfront RC versus NAC + RC or NAR + RC for cT2-4aN0M0 UC between 1995-2013, was identified from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. Data were retrieved from individual patient files and pathology reports. pCD-rates were compared using Chi-square tests and OS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analyses. Multivariable analyses were conducted to determine odds (OR) and hazard ratios (HR) for pCD-status and OS, respectively. We included 4,504 (82%) patients with cT2 and 1,013 (18%) with cT3-4a UC. Median follow-up was 9.2 years. In cT2 UC, pCD-rate was 25% after upfront RC versus 43% (p < 0.001) and 33% (p = 0.130) after NAC + RC and NAR + RC, respectively. In cT3-4a UC, pCD-rate was 8% after upfront RC versus 37% (p < 0.001) and 16% (p = 0.281) after NAC + RC and NAR + RC, respectively. In cT2 UC, 5-year OS was 57% and 51% for NAC + RC and upfront RC, respectively (p = 0.135), whereas in cT3-4a UC, 5-year OS was 55% for NAC + RC versus 36% for upfront RC (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis for OS, NAC was beneficial in cT3-4a UC (HR: 0.67, 95%CI 0.51-0.89) but not in cT2 UC (HR: 0.91, 95%CI 0.72-1.15). NAR did not influence OS. In conclusion, NAC + RC was associated with superior pCD compared to RC alone and NAR + RC. Superior OS for NAC + RC compared to RC alone was especially evident in cT3-4a disease.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process whereby epithelial cells assume mesenchymal characteristics to facilitate cancer metastasis. However, EMT also contributes to the initiation and development of primary tumors. Prior studies that explored the hypothesis that EMT gene variants contribute to epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) risk have been based on small sample sizes and none have sought replication in an independent population. We screened 15,816 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 296 genes in a discovery phase using data from a genome-wide association study of EOC among women of European ancestry (1,947 cases and 2,009 controls) and identified 793 variants in 278 EMT-related genes that were nominally (P < 0.05) associated with invasive EOC. These SNPs were then genotyped in a larger study of 14,525 invasive-cancer patients and 23,447 controls. A P-value <0.05 and a false discovery rate (FDR) <0.2 were considered statistically significant. In the larger dataset, GPC6/GPC5 rs17702471 was associated with the endometrioid subtype among Caucasians (odds ratio (OR) = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.07-1.25, P = 0.0003, FDR = 0.19), whereas F8 rs7053448 (OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.27-2.24, P = 0.0003, FDR = 0.12), F8 rs7058826 (OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.27-2.24, P = 0.0003, FDR = 0.12), and CAPN13 rs1983383 (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.69-0.90, P = 0.0005, FDR = 0.12) were associated with combined invasive EOC among Asians. In silico functional analyses revealed that GPC6/GPC5 rs17702471 coincided with DNA regulatory elements. These results suggest that EMT gene variants do not appear to play a significant role in the susceptibility to EOC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Defective cellular transport processes can lead to aberrant accumulation of trace elements, iron, small molecules and hormones in the cell, which in turn may promote the formation of reactive oxygen species, promoting DNA damage and aberrant expression of key regulatory cancer genes. As DNA damage and uncontrolled proliferation are hallmarks of cancer, including epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we hypothesized that inherited variation in the cellular transport genes contributes to EOC risk. METHODS In total, DNA samples were obtained from 14,525 case subjects with invasive EOC and from 23,447 controls from 43 sites in the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC). Two hundred seventy nine SNPs, representing 131 genes, were genotyped using an Illumina Infinium iSelect BeadChip as part of the Collaborative Oncological Gene-environment Study (COGS). SNP analyses were conducted using unconditional logistic regression under a log-additive model, and the FDR q<0.2 was applied to adjust for multiple comparisons. RESULTS The most significant evidence of an association for all invasive cancers combined and for the serous subtype was observed for SNP rs17216603 in the iron transporter gene HEPH (invasive: OR = 0.85, P = 0.00026; serous: OR = 0.81, P = 0.00020); this SNP was also associated with the borderline/low malignant potential (LMP) tumors (P = 0.021). Other genes significantly associated with EOC histological subtypes (p<0.05) included the UGT1A (endometrioid), SLC25A45 (mucinous), SLC39A11 (low malignant potential), and SERPINA7 (clear cell carcinoma). In addition, 1785 SNPs in six genes (HEPH, MGST1, SERPINA, SLC25A45, SLC39A11 and UGT1A) were imputed from the 1000 Genomes Project and examined for association with INV EOC in white-European subjects. The most significant imputed SNP was rs117729793 in SLC39A11 (per allele, OR = 2.55, 95% CI = 1.5-4.35, p = 5.66x10-4). CONCLUSION These results, generated on a large cohort of women, revealed associations between inherited cellular transport gene variants and risk of EOC histologic subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy exists on whether urinary tract infection (UTI) is a risk factor for urinary bladder cancer (UBC). Here, the association is investigated using data from one of the largest bladder cancer case-control studies worldwide. METHODS Information on (i) history and age at onset of regular cystitis ('regular low-UTI') and (ii) number and age at onset of UTI treated with antibiotics ('UTI-ab') from 1809 UBC patients and 4370 controls was analysed. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for age, education, smoking, and use of aspirin/ibuprofen were generated, for men and women separately. RESULTS Regular low-UTI was associated with an increased UBC risk (men: OR (95% CI) 6.6 (4.2-11); women: 2.7 (2.0-3.5)), with stronger effects in muscle-invasive UBC. Statistically significant decreased risks (ORs ∼0.65) were observed for up to five UTI-ab, specifically in those who (had) smoked and experienced UTI-ab at a younger age. In women, UTI experienced after menopause was associated with a higher UBC risk, irrespective of the number of episodes. CONCLUSIONS Regular cystitis is positively associated with UBC risk. In contrast, a limited number of episodes of UTI treated with antibiotics is associated with decreased UBC risk, but not in never-smokers and postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Folate is, in combination with vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and homocysteine, involved in one-carbon-metabolism affecting DNA synthesis and methylation which may play a role in carcinogenesis. This nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) is the first prospective study that investigated associations between prediagnostic serum folate, homocysteine, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 and the risk of urothelial cell carcinomas (UCC).
Methods: 847 UCC first incident cases were matched to 847 controls for gender, age at baseline, study center, date of blood collection, time of day of blood collection, and fasting status. Serum concentrations of folate and vitamin B12 were determined with an immuno-analyser. Serum vitamin B6 concentrations were measured by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and serum homocysteine concentrations by an enzyme cycling assay. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) were estimated with conditional logistic regression with detailed adjustment for smoking status, smoking duration and smoking intensity. All analyses were conducted for total UCC and for two prognostic subgroups of UCC, defined by tumor stage and grade. Ta grade 1 or 2 tumors were defined as non-aggressive (n=377) while all other grade and stage combinations were defined as aggressive (n=395).
Results: A reduced risk of UCC was found for higher levels of serum folate (IRR highest vs. lowest quartile 0.73; 95%CI 0.52–1.01, p-trend=0.04), although this was apparent only for current smokers. Serum folate was inversely associated with aggressive UCC risk (IRR highest vs. lowest quartile 0.59; 95%CI 0.37–0.95, p-trend=0.04), but not with the risk of non-aggressive UCC. No associations were observed between serum homocysteine, vitamin B6 and B12 and UCC risk.
Conclusion: This large European cohort study shows that high serum concentrations of folate may reduce the risk of UCC, in particular the risk of aggressive UCC. However, residual confounding by smoking can not be excluded.

Abstract
Synchronous and metachronous tumors are frequently observed in the urinary tract and may be explained by the concept of 'field cancerization,' i.e., exposure to carcinogens leading to the independent transformation of many urothelial cells resulting in oncogenetically unrelated tumors. Increasing evidence, however, supports the concept of clonality, i.e., the progeny of a single transformed cell spreads through the urinary system resulting in genetically related tumors. The aim of our study was to investigate the putative clonal origin of invasive urothelial cell carcinomas (UCCs) of the bladder from a prior superficial tumor. We selected 6 patients (5 males and 1 female) with superficial and subsequent invasive UCC tumors. All patients were previously diagnosed with a p53 mutation in their invasive tumor. At least 1 superficial and 1 invasive tumor of the same patient were analyzed for mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene by PCR-SSCP and, in case of a band shift, followed by direct sequencing. In all patients the same p53 mutation was found in the superficial and subsequent invasive tumor(s). All tumors arose from the same progenitor cell. These results support the concept of a clonal origin of superficial and metachronous invasive bladder UCCs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In a previous pilot study, a constitutional balanced translocation t(5;20)(p15;q11) was identified in a family with urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). The purpose of this study was to find (additional) constitutional chromosomal abnormalities in selected families to obtain an indication for genome location(s) of UCC susceptibility gene(s). METHODS UCC families were selected through an ongoing study on familial clustering of UCC, the largest study on this subject ever performed. This study included 1193 new patients with UCC of the bladder, ureter, and renal pelvis, identified from the population-based cancer registries of the Dutch Comprehensive Cancer Centers East and South. Information on demographic factors, smoking habits, and family history of UCC was collected by postal questionnaires. UCC in the families was verified with pathology reports. Thirty families were selected in which 2 or 3 individuals were affected, preferably diagnosed at a relatively young age. Blood samples were obtained from all probands, and routine cytogenetic analysis was performed on 23 male and 7 female UCC patients. Subsequent spectral karyotyping was performed in 4 patients from families, which were most suggestive for an inherited etiology. RESULTS No aberrant chromosomal features were found by either classical or spectral karyotype analyses. CONCLUSIONS It is conceivable that genetic germline abnormalities do exist in the patients in our study but are below the detection limit of the explorative methods used in this study.

Abstract
Synchronous and metachronous tumours are frequently observed in the urinary tract and may be explained by the concept of field cancerisation, i.e. exposure to carcinogens leads to independent transformation of many urothelial cells resulting in genetically unrelated tumours. However, increasing evidence supports the concept of clonality, i.e. the progeny of a single transformed cell spreads through the urinary system resulting in genetically related tumours. The aim of this study was to review the molecular biological evidence for both concepts and to assess the consequences of a clonality assumption on the incidence of urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). In total 1198 non-invasive and 1113 invasive (> or = T1) UCCs of the bladder were registered as incident tumours in 1996-1997 by three Dutch cancer registries following the current registration rules of the International Association of Cancer Registries (IACR). Assuming clonality, the number of non-invasive and invasive bladder UCCs decreased by 10.9% and 11.5% respectively. A decline of 8.5% and 9.5% was found for UCCs of the ureter and renal pelvis, respectively. Current registration rules have substantial impact on the incidence estimates of UCC. New insights into the molecular biology of UCC should be translated into registration rules.

Abstract
Due to variation in individual susceptibility, only a fraction of all individuals exposed to environmental carcinogens will develop cancer. Our aim was to assess whether mutagen sensitivity plays a role in developing urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) and whether this sensitivity is different in familial and non-familial cases. Intrinsic susceptibility was quantified by a mutagen sensitivity assay (mean number of chromatid breaks per cell after damage induction with bleomycin in the late S-G2 phase of the cell cycle). Patients were classified as sporadic (n = 25), familial (2 patients in 1 nuclear family, n = 23) or hereditary (2 patients <60 years or 3 patients in 1 nuclear family, n = 13) and compared with control subjects without a history of cancer. Information on demographic factors, smoking history and family history of UCC was collected by postal questionnaires. Differences in mutagen sensitivity were assessed by ANOVA and logistic regression analysis. Overall, UCC patients showed a higher mutagen sensitivity score compared with control subjects [mean number of chromatid breaks per cell 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84-0.97, and 0.74, 95% CI 0.69-0.79, respectively; p = 0.001). Sporadic and familial patients exhibited the highest susceptibility (0.94, 95% CI 0.82-1.06, and 0.93, 95% CI 0.83-1.03, respectively). Hereditary patients (0.79, 95% CI 0.72-0.86) showed a susceptibility similar to controls. Mutagen sensitivity increases the risk of non-hereditary UCC. The relatively low mutagen sensitivity score among hereditary patients points to a different carcinogenic pathway.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Numerous studies have shown smoking and specific occupational exposures to be risk factors for bladder cancer. The risk of bladder cancer may be modified by the activity of carcinogen metabolizing enzymes. The glutathione-S-transferase Mu1 enzyme (GSTM1) detoxifies arylepoxides which are formed after exposure to certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and possibly aromatic amines. Approximately 40% of Caucasians lack GSTM1 activity due to a homozygous deletion of the GSTM1 locus on chromosome 1p13 (GSTM1 0/0 genotype). The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of smoking and GSTM1 genotype on the risk of bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and 69 controls matched for age and sex were enrolled from the outpatient clinic. Lifestyle information was collected with a standardized questionnaire. DNA was extracted from white blood cells. The GSTM1 genotype was determined by a PCR-based method. RESULTS 92% of the 61 patients had a history of smoking compared with 81% of the controls. There was a significant dose-response relationship for pack-years of smoking (trend test: p = 0.003). The proportion of GSTM1 0/0 genotype among patients was 62% compared with 43% among controls (odds ratio = 2.1; 95% CI 1.1-4. 3). The expected interaction between smoking and GSTM1 genotype was not observed. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the findings that a germline homozygous deletion of the GSTM1 gene predisposes to bladder cancer. An interaction with smoking was not found.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gender differences have been observed in the prognosis of patients with bladder cancer. It has also been suggested that these differences are caused by a worse stage distribution at diagnosis among women. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether women with bladder cancer have a worse prognosis even after adjustment for disease stage at first presentation. METHODS Data on patients with bladder cancer diagnosed between 1973 and 1996 and registered by one of the nine population-based Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registries in the United States (n = 80,305) were obtained from the National Cancer Institute public domain SEER*Stat 2.0 package. Similar data on patients with bladder cancer diagnosed between 1987 and 1994 and registered by two population-based registries in the Netherlands (n = 1722) were obtained through the Comprehensive Cancer Centers, Amsterdam and South. Survival rates adjusted for mortality owing to other causes (ie, relative survival) were calculated for men and women within each category of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (SEER data) and TNM (Netherlands data) stage groupings.Results. In the United States, the 5-year relative survival rate of male patients with bladder cancer was calculated to be 79.5% (95% confidence interval 79.0% to 80.0%). Among women, the 5-year relative survival rate was significantly worse: 73.1% (95% confidence interval 72.2% to 74.0%). The male versus female 5-year survival rate among stage groups I, II, III, and IV was 96.5% versus 93.7%, 65.5% versus 59.6%, 58.8% versus 49.6%, and 27.1% versus 15.2%, respectively. The (sparser) data from the Netherlands were less conclusive. Women with Stage II and Stage IV disease fared worse than men but the reverse seemed to be true in Stage I disease. CONCLUSIONS Female patients with bladder cancer have a worse prognosis than male patients. It is unlikely that the difference can explained entirely by the more frequent diagnosis of higher stages at first presentation among women.

Abstract
An imbalance between oxidative stress and antioxidative capacity is thought to play an important role in the development and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To assess the lung oxidative status in patients with COPD, we studied whether exhaled hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is increased in breath condensate of patients with stable COPD (n = 12, mean FEV1 51% pred) and in patients with exacerbated COPD (n = 19, actual FEV1 36% pred) compared with a healthy control group (n = 10, FEV1 108% pred). Expired breath condensate during 15 min of tidal breathing was collected by cooling. The concentration of H2O2 was measured spectrophotometrically by means of horse radish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine. Concentrations of H2O2 (mean +/- SEM) were significantly elevated at 0.205 +/- 0.054 microM in patients with stable COPD compared with 0.029 +/- 0.012 microM in the control group (p < 0.05) and were further increased to 0.600 +/- 0.075 microM in patients with acutely exacerbated COPD (p < 0.001 compared with patients with stable COPD). Patients with pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiograph showed similar values compared with patients without obvious infiltrates. These findings demonstrate that patients with stable COPD exhibit increased oxidant production in the airways and that oxidant production increases further during exacerbations.
