Of the patients with localised disease who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, pathologic complete response and downstaging rates were 12 and 21%, respectively. Pathologic downstaging was not associated with significant improvement in clinical outcomes. Up to 18% of localised disease and 28% of locally advanced cases had unresectable disease at the time of surgery. ICI-treated advanced PUC (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921) had progression-free and overall survival of 4.5 and 10.5 months, respectively, and a 38% response rate. <jats:italic>FGFR3<\/jats:italic> and DNA damage response gene alterations were observed in 3 and 15% of cases, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>PUC is associated with high disease burden and poor chemosensitivity.
