Abbreviations: ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status; FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; HGB, hemoglobin; IHC, immunohistochemistry; UC, urothelial carcinoma.

a

P values for comparison of sex, primary lesion, HER2 status, current extent of disease, metastasis sites, number of previous systemic therapies, previous therapies, and Bellmunt score are based on the chi-square test; P value for age comparison is based on the t test.

b

FISH testing was performed for all the patients with IHC 2+.

c

Forty patients (37.4%) were classified as IHC 3+, and five patients (4.7%) as IHC2+ FISH+.

d

The FISH testing results for nine patients are unknown.

e

The Bellmunt risk score categorizes patients into four risk groups by assigning a point for each of three risk factors; an ECOG PS of >0, a HGB level of <10 g/dL, and the presence of liver metastases.
