Overview

NCI Definition: A well differentiated, moderately differentiated, or poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the male or female urethra. [1]

Urethral squamous cell carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in PIK3CA, TP53, PIK3C2G, YES1, and SOCS1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Urethral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

PIK3CA Mutation, PIK3CA E542K, PIK3CA Codon 542 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and TP53 Mutation are the most common alterations in urethral squamous cell carcinoma [2].
