Not evaluable*

−146: possible deletion

4

G3/high grade

Focal cUC, mostly villoglandular pattern

Overexpression

2+ (weakly positive)

Not amplified (1,26)

−146: G > A

5

G3/high grade

90% cUC, 10% MPUC; CIS

Overexpression

Amplified (2,57)

Wildtype

  1. CIS carcinoma in situ, cUC conventional urothelial carcinoma, MPUC micropapillary urothelial carcinoma.
  2. *Due to low signal quality.
