Location of the Primary Tumor is Not an Independent Predictor of Cancer Specific Mortality in Patients With Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

Abstract: To our knowledge this is the largest cohort in which the impact of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma tumor location on cancer specific mortality was examined. At nephroureterectomy renal pelvis tumors had significantly more advanced T and N stages compared to ureteral tumors. However, after adjustment for stage, grade and other covariates tumor location did not independently predict cancer specific mortality. Thus, the biological behavior of renal pelvis vs ureteral tumors is the same after nephroureter… Show more

“…Since then, several other techniques such as stripping, transurethral resection of the intramural ureter, and intussusception have been described as viable options for resection of the distal ureter. With the exception of ureteral stripping these techniques are deemed equivalent to excision of the bladder cuff [31][32][33][34]. The gold standard treatment for UTUC regardless of tumor location remains the RNU with excision of the bladder cuff.…”

“…Uprkos adekvatnom hirurškom tretmanu, značajan procenat pacijenata nakon operacije razvije lokalni ili udaljeni recidiv bolesti [2,32,137]. Upravo iz tih razloga neophodno je definisanje prognostičkih faktora kod pacijenata operisanih zbog tumora gornjeg urotelijuma.…”

“…Kod pacijenata kojima je učinjena radikalna nefroureterektomija lokacija primarnog tumora gornjeg urotelijuma nije uticala na kancer specifično preživljavanje, kao i na preživljavanje bez pojave recidiva bolesti. Naši rezultati su u saglasnosti sa pojedinim prethodnim studijama [35,46,137]. U studiji Isbarna i saradnika koja je obuhvatila 2824 pacijenta lečenih radikalnom nefroureterektomijom pokazano je da pacijenti sa tumorima pijelona imaju viši stadijum bolesti i da češće daju metastaze u limfne žlezde.…”
