Brief Title: Tumorspecific T-cell Immunity in Bladder Cancer as Prognostic Marker
Official Title: Prospective Characterization of Tumor-specific T-cell Immunity in Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer and Its Correlation With Clinical Parameters
Study ID: NCT01198808
Brief Summary: Bladder cancer is generally susceptible to immunotherapeutic measures. The investigators will characterize 40 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer regarding the existence and frequency of tumorspecific T-cells and regulatory T cells. The found data will be correlated to clinical data such as the cancer-specific survival and the response to chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that those patients with a high number of Tregs and no tumor-specific T-cells have a worse prognosis.
