Liquid biopsy's role in predicting tumor residual status and determining patients who can spare re-TURBT is still undefined. We want to assess the efficacy of OncoUrine, a urinary assay for mutation and methylation markers, in determining the necessity of re-TURBT. METHODS: Prospective study of NMIBC patients from 4 centers assessed OncoUrine analysis using urine samples collected 2-6 weeks after initial TURBT, followed by re-TURBT. The primary outcome is to assess OncoUrine's capability to predict tumor residual status in re-TURBT, and secondly, its efficacy in predicting recurrence. RESULTS: Of the 151 NMIBC patients enrolled, 48 (31.8%) had residual tumors in re-TURBT, while 87 (57.6%) achieved complete resection with detrusor muscle (DM). Risk distribution included: 1 low-risk, 58 intermediate-risk, 83 high-risk, and 9 very high-risk. OncoUrine test showed a sensitivity (SN) of 77.1%, specificity (SP) of 77.7%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 61.7%, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 87.9% in predicting tumor residual status. Stratified analysis revealed that OncoUrine's accuracy in identifying disease-free intermediate-risk patients, with a 97.6% NPV, potentially avoiding 70.7% unnecessary re-TURBT. In high-risk patients with DM, it had a 92.0% NPV, could sparing 50.0% from re-TURBT. Over a median 12.1-month follow-up of 131 patients, 18 patients experienced tumor recurrence. Positive OncoUrine (HR=3.70, p=0.019) and multiple tumors (HR=11.21, p=0.019) are two independent recurrence risk factors according to multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The OncoUrine test prior to re-TURBT can potentially avoid unnecessary surgery, especially for intermediate-risk NMIBC and high-risk NMIBC with DM. Those patients with positive OncoUrine results are at a higher recurrence risk and should consider re-TURBT to reduce tumor residual.
