Molecular subtypes applied to a population-based modern cystectomy series do not predict cancer-specific survival.

CONCLUSIONS: In the present large population-based cystectomy series, LVI and clinical stage were independently associated with CSS. However, molecular subtypes determined by global gene expression showed no such association with CSS according to either the Consensus molecular subtypes of muscle-invasive bladder cancer or Lund taxonomy.
