RISC 
Retrospective International Study of Invasive/Advanced Cancer of the Urothelium 

This project is establishing a large retrospective database detailing the care of patients with advanced bladder cancer (and other cancers of the urothelial tract) for the purposes of:

  • Generating insights regarding patterns of care 
  • Exploring prognostic and predictive variables
  • Informing future clinical trial design
  • Performing comparative effectiveness analyses
  • Assessing the impact of comorbidities on patient outcomes 

Each of these analyses will be used to enhance the care of future patients with cancers of the bladder (and other cancers of the urothelial tract). RISC is an international, multi-center, collaborative effort with Mount Sinai functioning as the data coordinating center.
