Advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) (locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic UC) is a fatal disease with 5-year survival rate of 5%. The most frequently studied diagnostic for advanced UC is the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein expression in tumor tissue. A better understanding of PD-L1 expression in a "real world" setting could help understand its clinical utility in the management and decision making in advanced UC and clinical trial design

You may be eligible if
Provision of written informed consent
Age ≥18 years old
Patient must have advanced UC confirmed by their HCP; histologically- confirmed diagnosis of UC an dHCP-confirmed advanced UC.
Patient must be either currently receiving 1L systemic treatment for their advanced UC or will be starting 1L systemic treatment (i.e. "newly diagnosed" advanced UC; 1L therapy is defined as the first systemic therapy given for advanced UC).
Patient remains eligible for the study if they received neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy if their recurrence was more than 12 months after their last chemotherapy dose.
Radio-sensitizing chemotherapy as part of chemoradiation is NOT counted as neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy; thus, the 12-month interval mention above does not apply, and the patient would be eligible
Patients with available tumor tissue sample (fresh or archival - up to 3 years old) that was collected as part of SoC any time prior to 1L treatment for advanced UC with a target of 18 slides (7 minimum) available for biomarker testing (PD-L1 and tTMB). Already prepared slides must have been cut within 6 months prior to PD-L1 testing.
You may not be if
Patients concurrently enrolled in other clinical trials that prohibit their participation in a non-interventional study
Patient has resectable localized UC and has refused surgery
Patients with history of non-urothelial active malignancy that completed therapy within 2 years from study enrollment except:
* Any resected in situ carcinoma or non-melanoma skin cancer
* Localized (early stage) cancer treated with curative intent (without evidence of recurrence and intent for further therapy) and in which no systemic therapy was indicated
