A Genotype-Phenotype Urothelial Cancer Registry

This study is being done to create a registry to help us learn more about urinary and other cancers. This will let us look at large groups of people who do and do not have this kind of cancer.

The investigators will look at risk factors to learn more about how these impact cancer. The investigators will also look at genetic markers. These are genes that are found in a known place. They are often associated with a particular trait. If the gene changes in some way, it may predict cancer or response to treatment. The investigators will look for markers in your saliva.

This registry will help us develop better methods of:

Preventing these cancers. Diagnosing these cancers. Treating these cancers.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

A member of the patient's treatment team, the protocol investigator, or a member of the research team at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) will identify potential research subjects. At MSKCC the following outpatient clinics will be used to recruit UC cases: Urology and Genitourinary Oncology. Patients and families may also be directly referred to the study team by any MSKCC physician, external physician, or by the family itself.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Urothelial Cancer Cases

  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND
  • Must have a diagnosis of urothelial cancer AND
  • Must be an English-speaker

Non-Cancer Control Group

  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND
  • Must not have cancer or a personal history of cancer, with the exception of skin cancer. AND
  • Must not be a blood relative of cases AND
  • Must not be a blood relative of another control AND
  • Must be an English-speaker

Family Member Control Group:

In select kindreds with a high prevalence of bladder cancer and/or very early onset bladder cancer, first- and second-degree family members of probands may be contacted by the MSKCC study team and invited to complete the questionnaire and submit a saliva sample.

  • Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND
  • Must be a blood relative of a case participant AND
  • Must be an English-speaker

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have any condition, which in the opinion of the primary MSKCC clinician or investigators precludes their ability to provide informed consent.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
1
Patients with urothelial cancer
Urothelial Cancer Registry- Patients will complete a family history and urothelial cancer risk questionnaire, and will provide a buccal sample for germline DNA. If the cases have undergone germline sequencing as part of Protocol 12-245, they will not need to provide a buccal sample. If the cases have previously completed athe "the "Urothelial Baseline Questionnaire," in an MSKCC urology clinic they will not need to complete the urothelial cancer risk questionnaire.
2
unrelated adults accompanying patients to clinic
Urothelial Cancer Registry- These participants will be requested to complete the risk factor questionnaire and to provide a saliva sample for DNA extraction.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in regions discovered from whole genome scans, such as 8q24 & chromosome 3, & candidate genes, include NAT2 & GSTM1, prev found to be assoc with bladder ca risk, are assoc with UC in this study population
Time Frame: 2 years
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes and regions listed above are associated with outcomes after UC diagnosis in the population
Time Frame: 2 years
2 years
