The prevalence of Lynch syndrome (LS)-associated DNA mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient bladder cancer (BC) has scarcely been investigated. Immunohistochemistry for four MMR proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2) was performed in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections prepared from the resected specimens of 618 consecutive newly diagnosed BC cases. Genetic/epigenetic analyses were performed in patients displaying the loss of any MMR proteins in the tumor. Of the 618 patients, 9 (1.5%) showed the loss of MMR protein expression via immunohistochemistry;
