Abstract Background Measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity post- autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) is associated with favorable outcomes and may overcome the adverse impact of high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities (HRCAs). However, as the definition of high risk evolves and MRD emerges as a key endpoint, understanding its prognostic value within individual HRCAs is critical for treatment guidance. Methods We retrospectively included patients with NDMM that underwent an ASCT between September 19, 2016, and October 19, 2023, and achieved MRD negativity on Day 100 post ASCT. The MRD testing was conducted using multiparameter flow cytometry with a sensitivity of 2x10. HRCAs were defined as del(17p), 1q21+ gain or amplification (1q21+), t(4;14), t(14;16), t(14;20) and del(1p) and rest were considered standard risk (SRCA). Patients were grouped by the number of HRCAs (0, 1, ≥2). An adaptation of the recently proposed International Myeloma Society (IMS)/International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) classification for high-risk disease (TP53 mutation unavailable) was also used. Progression-free survival (PFS), measured from stem-cell infusion to progression or death, was estimated using Kaplan–Meier methodology and compared using log-rank test. Results We identified 386 patients with MRD negativity post ASCT, of which 381 had cytogenetic data available for analysis. The median follow-up for the study cohort was 47.3 months (95% CI: 43.2-50). The median age at the time of ASCT was 65.7 (25.4-79.2) years and 58.3% patients were males. A total of 49% (n=189) patients had standard-risk cytogenetics, 31.4 % (n=121) harbored 1 HRCA, 15.3% (n=59) patients had two HRCAs and 3.1% (n=12) had 3 HRCAs. The individual HRCA by their prevalence were: 1q21+ in 35.5%(n=137), del(17p) in 14.3% (n=55), t(4;14) in 10.9% (n=42), t(14;16) in 5.4% (n=21), del(1p) in 4.2% (n=16), and t(14;20) in 1.04% (n=4) of patients. The most common double-hit lesions were1q21+ gain and/or amplification co-occurring with t(4;14) (33.9%, n=20) and del(17p) with 1q21+ (18.6%, n=11). Despite universal MRD negativity at Day 100, several HRCAs remained prognostically significant for PFS. Patients with del(17p) had worse 3-year PFS (71%) than those without (81%) [hazard ratio (HR)=1.85, 95% CI 1.11–3.07, p = 0.0172], though 3-year OS did not significantly differ at data cutoff (80% vs. 92%, p=0.1176). Presence of 1q21+ was associated with an inferior 3-year PFS (73%) compared to those without [84%, HR: 1.96 (95% CI: 1.25–3.06), p=0.0026], while 3-year OS was similar (88% vs. 91%, HR:1.33 p=0.36). Isolated 1q21+ had inferior PFS with comparable OS when compared to SRCA [3-year PFS of 82% vs. 88% respectively (HR:1.97, p=0.0177)]; 3-year OS was 91% vs. 94% (HR:1.38, p=0.44)]. Among 1q21+ patients, those with co-occurring HRCAs had a 3-year PFS of 66% vs. 81% for isolated 1q21+ (HR: 1.47, p=0.21). Patients with t(4;14) had worse 3-year PFS (64%) vs. 82% in non t(4;14) [HR 2.11(95% CI: 1.21-3.67) p=0.0064], and 3-year OS of 82% compared to 91% [HR 2.14 (95% CI: 1.02–4.49), p=0.038]. Isolated t(4;14) showed a 3-year PFS of 59% vs. 87% in standard-risk (p=0.06), and 3-year OS of 90% vs. 93% [HR 3.29, 95% CI 0.95–11.33, p = 0.06]. The presence of t(14;16), t(14;20), and del(1p) did not significantly affect 3-year PFS (all p>0.1), likely due to small subsets. When patients were grouped by the number of HRCAs, PFS declined with increasing cytogenetic complexity. Compared to standard risk, the 3-year PFS was 77% for 1 HRCA vs [HR = 2.11 (95% CI: 1.29–3.46), p = 0.0027], 67% for ≥2 HRCA [HR = 2.64 (95% CI: 1.53–4.57), p = 0.0005]. Maintenance therapy was used in 98% of patients. Patients with HRCAs received a doublet maintenance compared to SRCA (p<0.0001), even in MRD negative disease post ASCT. Conclusion In patients with certain HRCA, achievement of MRD negativity post-ASCT does not overcome the adverse impact of HRCA on PFS. In our cohort, patients with del(17p), t(4;14), or 1q21+ continued to exhibit significantly shorter PFS despite achieving MRD-negative status. These findings underscore the need for ongoing risk-adapted strategies even in patients with MM who attain MRD-negative state. The OS estimates are immature at this time.

Abstract Background Primary plasma cell leukemia (pPCL) is a rare and aggressive variant of multiple myeloma (MM), characterized by the presence of more than 5% circulating plasma cells on a peripheral blood smear. Despite advancements in therapy, including novel agents and autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), pPCL remains associated with markedly poorer survival outcomes compared to newly diagnosed MM. Although disease progression is common in pPCL, individual courses vary widely upon relapse and thereafter. We aim to describe the natural history of pPCL, focusing on clinical features and survival outcomes at the time of relapse or disease progression. Methods Patients with pPCL who were followed at our institution's cancer center between 2006-2024 were included for retrospective analysis. The electronic health record was reviewed to provide detailed information on patient demographics, disease characteristics, treatment regimens, and clinical outcomes. Time to next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS) analysis were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Statistical analyses were performed using the SAS biostatistical software JMP 17.0.1 (SAS Institute Inc). Results We analyzed a cohort of 106 patients with relapsed pPCL after first-line therapy, all of whom received induction with novel agents. To date, 64 patients (60%) have died. Across the entire cohort, median OS is 39 months (mos) (95% CI: 25-68). 59 patients (56%) were diagnosed after 2015. Baseline FISH cytogenetics were available for 100 patients; 57 (57%) had one or more high-risk cytogenetic abnormality. Nearly all patients (96%) had ≥50% clonal plasma cells on initial bone marrow biopsy. While most patients (n = 61; 58%) were planned to undergo upfront ASCT, 20 (33%) experienced disease progression during induction therapy and required a more intensive salvage regimen (often infusional chemotherapy) prior to ASCT. The median TTNT after first-line therapy (TTNT#1) for the entire cohort was 10.4 mos (95% CI: 8–14). The median TTNT after second-line therapy (TTNT#2) for the entire cohort was 5.7 mos (95% CI: 4.3–7.1). Clinical details at first relapse, prompting initiation of second-line therapy, were available for 91 patients. Of these, 26 patients (29%) had symptomatic relapses—due to CRAB features or extramedullary disease—while 65 patients (71%) experienced asymptomatic biochemical progression. Symptomatic relapses were followed by significantly shorter TTNT#2 (3.9 vs. 7.0 mos; p = 0.039) and inferior OS from the start of second-line therapy (7.5 vs. 31.2 mos; p <0.0001) compared to asymptomatic relapses. The median TTNT#2 for patients who relapsed during induction and received salvage ASCT was 6.9 mos (n=20). In contrast, those treated after relapse with non-ASCT regimens (n = 86) fared worse; those receiving novel agent-based combinations, including doublets, triplets, or quadruplets (n=64) had respective median TTNT#2 of 3.3, 6.0, and 3.3 mos. Patients treated with infusional chemotherapy (n = 9) had the poorest outcomes, with a median TTNT#2 of just 1.4 mos. The median TTNT diminished with each subsequent line of therapy: TTNT#3 (n = 73) was 5.8 mos, TTNT#4 (n = 53) was 4.0 mos, and TTNT#5 (n = 35) was 2.6 mos. Patients with pPCL harboring the t(11;14) cytogenetic abnormality who were treated with venetoclax-based regimens (n = 8) during any line of therapy had a longer corresponding median TTNT of 15.0 mos. Additionally, 23 patients received anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapy as a post-relapse line of therapy. At last follow-up, 15 of these patients (65%) had not relapsed, and after a median 20.7 mos of follow-up, the median TTNT following CAR-T cell therapy had not yet been reached. Patients who received CAR-T after 1-3 prior lines (n=15) had a median TTNT that was not reached; those who had received 4 or more prior lines (n=8) had a median TTNT of 20 mos. ConclusionsDespite the use of novel agent-based combination regimens and ASCT as first-line therapy, most patients with pPCL eventually experience disease progression. Consistent with MM, symptomatic relapse in pPCL is associated with poorer outcomes compared to asymptomatic biochemical progression. Additionally, the duration of response shortens with each successive line of therapy. Notable exceptions include venetoclax-based regimens in patients with t(11;14), and anti-BCMA CAR-T cell therapies: each appear to confer more durable responses than historical treatments in patients with relapsed pPCL.

Abstract Background Accurate reconstruction of electronic health record (EHR) treatment sequences is essential for leveraging real-world data (RWD) in clinical research and trial-eligibility platforms in multiple myeloma (MM). However, inconsistencies in RWD treatment documentation and the complexity of line-of-treatment (LOT) assignments in MM hinder reproducibility and limit comparisons against published trials. To address these limitations, we developed HEAL-MM, an automated rule-based algorithm that systematically parses structured medication data to calculate LOTs and segment treatment into standardized, clinically meaningful phases. The algorithm is designed to be interpretable, adaptable to evolving therapeutic frameworks, and compatible with widely adopted EHR data standards. Here, we report its real-world validation against expert-adjudicated treatment sequences to assess concordance, identify edge-case failure points, and support RWD integration. Methods A stratified cohort of 100 MM patients (9,136 structured treatment events) was curated from 114 unique healthcare systems compiled from the multi-institutional HealthTree Foundation harmonized registry. Cohort selection was randomized to ensure coverage across diagnostic eras (pre-2010, 2015–2020, 2022–2025) and treatment exposures, including CAR T-cell therapies, bispecific antibodies, and anti-CD38-based regimens. HEAL-MM sequenced MM regimens chronologically and applied predefined logic rules to identify LOT transitions, the initiation of a new therapeutic course based on drug changes, treatment gaps, and procedural anchors such as stem cell transplant or CAR T. Within each LOT, the algorithm segments and labels therapy into phases, clinically distinct intervals (e.g., induction and maintenance) using rule-based clinical logic. Outputs were benchmarked against expert-labeled adjudications. Concordance was evaluated using concordance index (C-index), stratified by patient, LOT depth and diagnostic era. Results: HEAL-MM demonstrated high concordance with expert-labeled treatment sequences: 0.94 for LOT identification, 0.98 for treatment phase segmentation, and 0.96 for phase label assignment. Achieving complete agreement with all expert annotations in 90% of patients for LOT assignment, 94% for the number of treatment phases identified, 77% for the specific labels applied to each phase, and 75% across all three dimensions simultaneously. Among discordant patients, the absolute difference in final LOT count was 0.5 ± 0.9. Performance was highest in early lines (LOTs 1–3; C-index: 0.97), with seven patients showing discrepancies at this stage. Concordance declined in later lines (LOT ≥4; C-index: 0.87), where 50% of the discordant cases (n=4) were attributable to misclassifications in earlier LOTs, such as medication restarts following >3-month gaps, demonstrating the compounding effect of early errors on longitudinal accuracy. Temporal stratification revealed improved accuracy in post-2020 cases (C-index: 0.94) compared to 2015–2020 cohorts (0.91), reflecting the increasing adoption of structured treatment standards and EHR data quality improvements. To assess HEAL-MM performance at clinically significant junctures, we analyzed treatment transitions that initiated a new LOT or marked a change in phase, achieving C-indices of 0.97 for LOT transitions, 0.97 for treatment phase shifts, and 0.94 for phase label assignment. Conclusions: HEAL-MM provides a validated, scalable solution for standardizing MM treatment structures in RWD environments, as it accurately detects the exact treatment entry of a new LOT 97% of the time. This rule-based framework enables reproducible LOT and phase assignment across heterogeneous EHR systems, supporting real-time cohort identification across institutions and EHR platforms. The algorithm's modular design allows for continuous integration of novel therapeutic categories and evolving treatment logic. While the algorithm maintained high fidelity overall, early-stage misclassifications consistent with increased heterogeneity and documentation ambiguity occasionally propagated downstream, underscoring the compounding effect of upstream errors in longitudinal reconstruction. With its generalizable structure and compatibility with industry-standard data models, HEAL-MM lays the foundation for structured treatment reconstruction in MM across RWD infrastructure and serves as a transferable blueprint for other hematologic malignancies.

Abstract Cardiac involvement in AL amyloidosis significantly impacts both short and long-term survival. Achieving cardiac complete response (CarCR) is linked to excellent survival, comparable to that of the general population. We undertook this study to characterize patients with AL amyloidosis who achieved CarCR. Methods: A single-center retrospective study of patients diagnosed with cardiac AL amyloidosis between 2004 and 2023 and achieved a documented CarCR for at least 12 months. Patients were included if they had evidence of cardiac involvement confirmed by cardiac imaging (transthoracic echocardiogram or cardiac magnetic resonance) and Congo red–positive tissue (non-cardiac or heart biopsy), and were evaluable for cardiac response based on baseline NT-proBNP > 650 pg/mL or BNP > 150 pg/mL. CarCR was defined as a reduction in NT-proBNP to less than 350 pg/mL (or BNP less than 80 pg/mL). Heart transplant patients were excluded. Results: Sixty-three patients were included, representing 4.6% of the cardiac evaluable population in the study period. This proportion increased in the second period compared to the first period (7.5% vs 3.2%, P<0.001). The median age at diagnosis of 57 years (ranging from 29 to 79); 63% were male. Lambda light chain disease was evident in 63% of patients. The median difference between the involved and uninvolved light chain (dFLC) at baseline was 429 mg/L (interquartile range [IQR] 143-708). While all patients had cardiac involvement, 63% also presented with extra-cardiac involvement [kidneys (52%), liver (16%), autonomic nerves (14%), luminal gastrointestinal tract (11%), and peripheral nerves (10%)]. The median baseline NT-proBNP for the entire cohort was 1977 pg/mL (IQR 1393-3026). The median troponin T (n=43) was 0.02 ng/mL (IQR <0.01-0.05) and the median high-sensitivity troponin T (n=19) was 49 ng/L (IQR 38-79 ng/L). Cardiac stage distribution, according to the European modification of the Mayo 2004 staging model, was as follows: 59% stage II, 39% stage IIIa, and 2% stage IIIb. At baseline, echocardiogram features included a median left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction of 63%, a median intraventricular septum thickness of 14 mm, and a median average LV longitudinal strain of -12%. The most common first-line therapies were autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT; with or without induction, 54%), bortezomib-containing therapy (22%), and daratumumab-containing therapy (13%). Hematological complete response rates at 3-month, 6-month, and best response prior to CarCR were 32%, 49% and 76%, respectively. At CarCR, the median NT-proBNP was 265 pg/mL (IQR 220-307) with a median time from treatment onset to CarCR achievement of 20.6 months. At CarCR, 33% of patients were on loop diuretics. The CarCR rate at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months from treatment onset was 10%, 39%, 81%, 90%, 95% and 96%, respectively. Temporary increase of NT-proBNP above 350 pg/mL with return to CarCR was documented in 46% of patients. Echocardiogram parameters also improved significantly at the time of CarCR, with average left ventricular longitudinal strain showing the greatest median improvement in relation to baseline (from -12% to -17%, p<0.001). However, echocardiographic parameters did not fully normalize in all patients. Cardiac progression was seen in 14% of patients, at a median of 7.6 years from the initial time of CarCR. In addition, subsequent clone-directed therapy was given in 44% of patients at a median of 4.6 years from the initial treatment. With a median follow-up of 9.5 years, eight patients (13%) died, 4 due to causes unrelated to AL. We compared the survival of patients who achieved CarCR to the general U.S. population, matching for age, sex, and the year treatment. The observed survival of CarCR patients was similar to that of the general population (p=0.35). Conclusion: Patients with persistent CarCR >12 months in AL amyloidosis are uncommon and demonstrate excellent outcomes. The achievement of hematological CR was required in 3 out of 4 patients reaching a CarCR. Echocardiographic changes of amyloid infiltration may still persist in this highly favorable cohort, indicating that “complete” response refers primarily to functional and prognostic improvement, not necessarily a full restoration to pre-disease cardiac morphology and function. Achieving CarCR is associated with a low risk of cardiac progression, but the need for subsequent clone-directed therapy remains elevated.

Abstract Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are frequent in patients (pts) with systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL), yet their clinical significance remains poorly defined. We investigated the role of symptomatic GI involvement in disease burden, survival, and organ-specific outcomes in a large single-center cohort. Methods From 2010–2025, 4,396 AL pts were evaluated at our center; 560 pts (13%) had provider-attributed symptomatic GI AL. Pts with localized AL or positive biopsy without GI symptoms were excluded (n=38). We analyzed relationships between GI symptoms, anatomic/histologic involvement, laboratory parameters, survival, and need for nutritional support using Wilcoxon rank-sum, Chi-square, Kaplan-Meier, and logistic regression tests. Results GI symptoms included early satiety (n=320/57%), diarrhea (n=189/34%), nausea (n=184/33%), abdominal pain (n=148/26%), dysphagia (n=119/21%), vomiting (n=75/13%), GI bleeding (n=74/13%), and heartburn (n=71/13%). Only nausea and GI bleeding were not associated with cardiac (n=366/65%) renal (n=274/49%) or hepatic (n=84/15%) AL, whereas dysphagia, early satiety and heartburn were more frequent with cardiac (all OR=1.7), abdominal pain and diarrhea with hepatic (OR=2 and 1.6, respectively), and vomiting with renal involvement (OR=2; all p<0.04). Autonomic involvement impacted GI symptoms, often without proof of parenchymal GI amyloid. Of the 124 pts with formal autonomic testing, only 44 (35%) had positive GI biopsies as compared to AL GI pts without proven autonomic involvement (240/436, 55%). Pts with autonomic involvement were more symptomatic than pts with positive GI biopsies, suffering more often from dysphagia (29% vs 19%), diarrhea (41% vs 32%), and gastroparesis (34% vs 9%, all p<0.001). We screened changes in body weight, calcium, VitB12, Hb, PO4, and albumin at diagnosis. Of the 175 pts with documented weight loss in this cohort, pts with GI AL lost more weight compared to those with other organ involvement (21% vs 14% of weight, p=0.002), and had lower phosphate (3.7 vs 4.0 mg/dL, p=0.06). In our cohort of pts with GI symptoms, 298 (53%) had a positive GI biopsy. Biopsy-proven anatomic involvement dictated symptoms (all p<0.05): Of the 20 pts with positive esophageal biopsy, dysphagia was present in 45%; only 33% of the pts without an esophageal biopsy had dysphagia. Similar patterns were seen for the 170 pts with a positive gastric biopsy (n=170) in terms of heartburn (21% vs 11%), for the 165 pts with positive small bowel biopsies in terms of abdominal pain (68% vs 32%), and for the 130 pts with positive colon biopsies and diarrhea (46% vs 33%). Specific histopathological patterns were prognostic. Mucosal involvement (n=161) was an independent risk factor for survival compared to submucosal (n=64) and vascular (n=102) involvement throughout the GI tract (HR 1.83; p=0.03). Three-layer GI infiltration was associated with inferior mOS (2.4 vs 5.1 vs 7.8 y for 3 vs 2 vs 1-layer involvement, HR 3.19/1.56/1; p<0.05). Counterintuitively, vascular involvement had the lowest risk of bleeding in all GI anatomic sites (p=0.02). In the colon, only mucosal involvement was associated with a higher risk of bleeding (OR=5; p=0.04). GI involvement in AL pts did not worsen prognosis (mOS 10.0/6.3y, p=0.02), and pts with isolated GI AL (n=74/13%) had an even better survival (55% surviving at 10 y). Cachexia (n=120; mOS 3.5 vs 7.8 y, p<0.001), need for nutritional support (n=36; mOS 0.9 vs 7.0 y, p<0.001), and diarrhea (mOS 5.8 vs 6.9 y, p=0.06) were risk factors for death. In pts with hematologic response (≥PR), bleeding did not recur within 3 y (n=27), but even with response, diarrhea (n=160) persisted in 39%. Resolution was less frequent without hematologic response (persistence in 69%, OR=3.5). Improvement was most often due to treatment of bacterial overgrowth (11/35 pts; 68%) and loperamide (54/59 pts; 91%). Conclusion In AL, meaningful GI involvement is defined by nausea, diarrhea, occurrence of bleeding, and malnutrition. These are primarily associated with mucosal infiltration. GI symptoms can occur in the face of autonomic involvement. While long-term persistence of GI bleeding is rare after serologic response, cachexia and persistent diarrhea drive morbidity, need for nutritional support, and poor survival.

Abstract Purpose: CD4 T-cell immunity is associated with improved survival in patients with breast cancer. We previously reported a phase I trial evaluating a folate receptor alpha (FRα) vaccine administered with cyclophosphamide (CP), demonstrating excellent safety and immunogenicity. To simplify the vaccine strategy for ease of use, we report here the results of a randomized phase II trial evaluating a lower vaccine dose alongside the original dose, administered with or without CP pretreatment. Patients and Methods: Patients with triple-negative breast cancer who completed all systemic and local therapies were assigned to receive either low-dose (825 μg) or high-dose (2.5 mg) vaccine peptides plus GM-CSF in six 4-week cycles, with or without CP prior to vaccination. Safety was monitored, and immunogenicity was evaluated before and after vaccination. Results: A total of 80 patients were dosed with vaccine, and 58 patients were evaluable for immunogenicity. Vaccination was well tolerated and elicited immunity in 83% of patients. Levels of FRα-specific T cells were high, persistent, and comparable with T-cell levels against tetanus toxoid. No differences in immunity were observed between the two doses. CP pretreatment also did not affect the immune responses. Recurrences occurred in eight evaluable patients and were unrelated to the treatment arm. No patients died during the study because of their disease. Conclusions: The reduced-dose FRα vaccine is as effective as the original dose and does not require CP to generate maximal immunity. These findings may inform the design of trials testing efficacy in triple-negative breast cancer or other cancers.

ABSTRACT Light chain multiple myeloma (LCMM) is a subtype of multiple myeloma (MM) characterized by the exclusive production of immunoglobulin light chains and accounts for 15%–20% of newly diagnosed MM. A comprehensive comparison of LCMM with MM producing intact immunoglobulin (non‐LCMM) remains limited. In this retrospective study, we described distinct clinical and cytogenetic features and assessed long‐term outcomes in 852 LCMM patients diagnosed between 01/01/2004 and 12/31/2022, compared with non‐LCMM controls matched for age, sex, and year of diagnosis. On univariable analysis, LCMM patients were more likely to present with elevated creatinine (> 2 mg/dL), beta‐2‐microglobulin ≥ 5.5 mg/L, elevated LDH, hypercalcemia, t(11;14), del(13q), and t(6;14). Conversely, IMS‐IMWG high‐risk disease, hyperdiploidy, t(4;14), and serum albumin < 3.5 g/dL were less common. On multivariable analysis, elevated creatinine (OR: 5.1, 95% CI: 1.2–27, p = 0.04), t(11;14) (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.3–5.2, p = 0.006), and del(13q) (OR: 4.1, 95% CI: 2.1–8.2, p < 0.001) were independently associated with LCMM, while IMS‐IMWG high‐risk disease (OR: 0.3, 95% CI: 0.1–0.8, p = 0.02) and hyperdiploidy (OR: 0.3, 95% CI: 0.1–0.7, p = 0.002) were less frequent. Despite these differences, progression‐free survival with frontline treatment (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.84–1.11, p = 0.63) and overall survival (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.87–1.13, p = 0.94) were similar between LCMM and non‐LCMM patients. This study highlights the distinct clinical and cytogenetic features of LCMM, marked by higher rates of renal failure, t(11;14), and del(13q), lower prevalence of IMS‐IMWG high‐risk disease, and comparable survival outcomes.

The Dublin ISUP Consensus Conference covered the proceedings on the best practice recommendations on nonurachal glandular lesions of the urinary bladder, bladder diverticular cancers, and molecular features of bladder and urachal glandular lesions. The conference proceedings on urachal neoplasms (except for their molecular features) are published elsewhere. The rationale for convening this conference was the lack of structured and consented pathologic recommendations in these rare lesions. Consensus by participants was reached on the following statements: (1) intestinal metaplasia with dysplasia is considered to be a precursor to primary bladder adenocarcinoma; (2) dysplasia arising from cystitis glandularis should be reported in terms of focality (focal or nonfocal) and grade (low or high); (3) the term “adenocarcinoma” should only be used for carcinomas showing pure (nonurothelial) morphology and should not be used interchangeably in urothelial carcinoma with “glandular differentiation” because of the pathobiological differences and management implications; (4) the different histologic subtypes of bladder adenocarcinoma should be specified in the report; (5) immunohistochemistry has an ancillary role in the work up of bladder adenocarcinoma versus gastrointestinal or Müllerian-type adenocarcinomas; (6) lymphovascular invasion should be included as a parameter when reporting bladder adenocarcinoma; (7) representative or targeted sampling will be sufficient for bladder diverticulum resection specimens; and (8) molecular analysis in genomic profiling should be performed only in advanced or metastatic bladder and urachal adenocarcinomas for targetable therapy. This report on glandular (nonurachal) lesions of the bladder from the Dublin ISUP consensus conference will serve as a best practice recommendation and as a guide for future research on these relatively rare lesions.
