Brief Summary
The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study with associated satellites, a tumor registry platform, to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma or urothelial cancer in Germany.

Study Arms (3)
aRCC
Patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma
aUBC
Patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (locally advanced and inoperable, or metastatic)
High-risk MIUC
Patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma classified as high-risk after radical surgery (ypT2-ypT4 and/or ypN+,M0 for patients with prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy; pT3-pT4 and/or pN+, M0 for patients without prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy)
Interventions
Physician's choice according to patient's needs.
Eligibility Criteria
Adult patients with locally advanced and inoperable, or metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (aRCC); locally advanced and inoperable, or metastatic Urothelial Cancer (including Bladder Cancer) (aUBC); or High-risk Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Carcinoma (High-risk MIUC)
You may qualify if:
- Cohorts aRCC and aUBC (prospective)
- Female and male patients with aRCC or aUBC (locally advanced, inoperable or metastatic)
- Patients at start of their first-line systemic treatment for aRCC or aUBC
- Written informed consent
- Patients participating in the PRO module: signing of in-formed consent form and completion of baseline questionnaire before start of initial systemic treatment
- Patients not participating in the PRO module: within twelve weeks after start of systemic first-line for aRCC or aUBC
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Cohort High-risk MIUC (prospective and retrospective)
- Histologically proven muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) of the lower or upper urinary tract (ICD-10 C65, C66, C67.x, C68.x). Mixed histologies are allowed (main compo-nent must be urothelial carcinoma, with minor variants accept-ed).
- Radical surgery (e.g., radical cystectomy, nephroureterecto-my) between October 1, 2021 and October 31, 2024.
- High-risk of recurrence, defined as follows: Post-operative, pathological tumor status
- ypT2-ypT4 and/or ypN+ and without clinically detectable metastases (M0) at cystectomy for patients with prior neo-adjuvant chemotherapy or
- pT3-pT4 and/or pN+ and without clinically detectable me-tastases (M0) at cystectomy for patients without prior neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
- Age ≥ 18 years at the time of surgery.
You may not qualify if:
- Cohorts aRCC and aUBC (prospective)
- Patients with prior systemic therapy for aRCC or aUBC
- No systemic treatment for aRCC or aUBC
- Cohort High-risk MIUC (prospective and retrospective)
- Partial cystectomy or partial nephrectomy of the primary tumor as definitive therapy
- Metastatic disease (M1) at the time of surgery
