Oncology Research

Our world-renowned basic scientists and researchers at University Hospitals Urology Institute, in collaboration with colleagues at the Department of Urology at Case Western Reserve University, are committed to preventing prostate, bladder, and renal cancers.

Bladder Cancer Research

Our multidisciplinary team of researchers, including scientists from the Department of Radiology and UH Seidman Cancer Center, are conducting a comprehensive analysis of bladder cancer. This study focuses on demographic and social determinants of care, mRNA tumor molecular composition, immune histochemical receptor identification, tumor and host-microbiome, and the interaction between host and tumor environment via image analysis algorithm.

The findings from the ongoing studies will quantify the functional relevance of tumor and host response and illuminate the potential relationships between gender and race contributing to disparities in bladder cancer.
