CCL8 has the potential to be a prognostic biomarker, aiding in patient stratification and treatment planning. Further multicenter studies with longer follow-up periods and functional validation are required to confirm these findings and fully understand the role of CCL8 in urothelial carcinoma.
For local staging of urothelial carcinoma, mpMRI-or, in selected cases, bpMRI-should preferably be performed prior to transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TUR-B) according to VI-RADS standards. Only in selected cases is FDG-PET/CT to be used for N/M staging and restaging. Targeted imaging (e.g., NECTIN-4) and artificial intelligence (AI) are still in the research phase, whereby prospective trials with decision-impact outcomes and standardized implementation and quality processes have priority.
An increased prevalence of second primary malignancy is anticipated due to the rising cancer burden and the careful screening of index initial malignancy throughout therapy. Determining the best course of action requires careful staging of the cancer and discussion by a multidisciplinary team.
