This is a prospective observational study. In this study, researchers propose to enroll 40 participants above 18 years of age with muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma, who are going to receive the neoadjuvant therapy before surgery. Collecting fresh tumor samples for PTC drug sensitivity testing, conducting neoadjuvant therapy for the subjects simultaneously. By combining PTC prediction results with the patients' clinical treatment process and medication feedback, researchers could estimate the accuracy of PTC drug sensitivity testing. Completion of this research would provide real-world figures to support for the clinical application for PTC drug sensitivity testing, and a method is going to be established to guide the clinical treatment regimen for patients with muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma.
In this study, investigators plan to conduct the 3D in vitro culture PTC drug sensitivity testing of fresh tumor specimen which obtained by endoscopic biopsy or other methods. Through assessing the consistency between the testing results and the patients' neoadjuvant treatment outcomes, they would evaluate the accuracy of PTC drug sensitivity testing and its application value in the individualized precision medicine for muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma.
