The genomic knowledge on urothelial carcinoma is expanding. It is recognised that urothelial carcinoma is a disease with a high somatic mutation rate and a high prevalence of genetic alterations, as discussed by Thomas and Sonpavde (2022). In the context of a disease rich with somatic alterations, continuing efforts to better identify which patients may benefit most from targeted therapy, immunotherapy and combination therapy may ultimately lead to improved outcomes for patients with this disease. ⋯ This study provides an understanding of the use of NGS and prevalence of genomic alterations in an Irish patient population.
