Mp41-02 outcomes of nested variant of urothelial carcinoma following radical cystectomy

Nested variant (NV) urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) is a rare histological subtype of UCC with benign features. There is limited data on the outcomes and characteristics of patients with this histology (largest study with 52 patients); however, it has traditionally been viewed as a more aggressive subtype of UCC and neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not recommended. Our primary interest was to assess whether there is a difference in overall survival (OS) after radical cystectomy (RC) between patients with NV features compared to patients with pure UCC.
