Micropapillary urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder displays immunophenotypic features of luminal and p53-like subtypes and is not a variant of adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that MPUC possesses characteristics of luminal and p53-like subtypes, and does not harbor phenotypic features of the basal subtype. There is no significant difference in the prognosis between luminal and p53-like subtype MPUC. MPUC is not a variant of adenocarcinoma and does not represent a form of glandular differentiation, in contrast to other organ sites. PMID: 31740332 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
