Background: Small cell bladder cancer (SCBC), a malignancy indistinguishable from small cell lung cancer (SCLC), is a rare and aggressive subtype of bladder cancer. Response to chemotherapy in SCBC is poor, yet the standard therapy remains cisplatin and etoposide. Novel therapies based on a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of transformation are needed. The purpose of this study is to identify potential targets and therapeutic options for this disease, using multiplatform tumor profiling.
