At median follow-up of 44 months, targeted DNA sequencing, the pre-BCG driver gene alterations were similar to other centers' results. ARID1A mutation status was associated with recurrence with all metachronous tumor pairs having a common ancestor. He observed relatively high but variable changes over time despite having a common ancestral clone (i.e. TERT, TP53, FGFR3). Ongoing genomic driver landscape studies following BCG are needed as genomic drivers pre-BCG is well defined.
