Objective:To evaluate the prognostic value of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR)in upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC)patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy.Methods:This study was pre-registered in PROSPERO(No.CRD42020186645).Two reviewers independently performed a comprehensive literature search on PubMed,Web of Science,EMBASE,Cochrane Library databases,China Biology Medicine disc(CBM),Wanfang database,and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)from inception to May 2021 for prospective or retrospective cohort studies evaluating the prognostic value of PLR.Literature was analyzed with inclusion and exclusion criteria.Data and other useful clinicopathological features were extracted and analyzed with fixed or random-effect models when applicable.Heterogeneity was assessed on the basis of Cochran’s Q test and I2 statistic.Publication bias was assessed with funnel plots and precisely assessed by Egger's tests.Results:A total of ten studies involving 3287 UTUC patients were included.Meta-analysis showed that elevated preoperative PLR was associated with worse overall survival(HR=1.51,95%CI 1.17-1.94,P=0.001),cancer specific survival(HR=1.52,95%CI 1.21-1.90,P<0.001),disease free survival(HR=1.32,95%CI 1.12-1.56,P=0.001),and progression free survival(HR=1.88,95%CI 1.41-2.52,P<0.001).Furthermore,the sensitivity analyses validated the stability and reliability of the results.Conclusion:The present meta-analysis demonstrates a significant association between elevated preoperative PLR and poor prognosis of UTUC patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy.Hence,PLR could be helpful as a potential prognostic biomarker to guide clinical decision-making and select individualized treatment strategies for UTUC patients.However,more prospective and large-scale trials are needed to provide more evidence. 展开更多

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma and bladder urothelial carcinoma both belong to urothelial carcinoma,which is a malignant tumor occurring in the renal pelvis and ureteral urothelium.The incidence rate of UTUC is higher among Asians and it shows various pathogenic factors.Patients of UTUC have a short lifespan,and most of them have shown invasive malignant tumors at the time of initial diagnosis.The treatment of most UTUC patients is limited to surgical resection,radiotherapy and chemotherapy in clinical.Due to its rarity,the studies on targeted therapy are rare.With the development of the targeted therapy and immunotherapy,genomics exploration that affects the prognosis of UTUC becomes particularly important.In this paper,we intend to review the differential expression,clinical significance and some special types of UTUC genomes through the UTUC genome. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC)representing only a small fraction of all urothelial tumors.It predominantly affects the renal pelvis in men,often coexisting with bladder carcinoma.UTUC displays a more aggressive genetic profile compared to bladder neoplasms,with the majority of patients presenting with advanced disease.Histologically,about a quarter of UTUC cases exhibit high-grade subtypes,associated with a worse prognosis.Tobacco use and past exposure to aromatic amines are significant risk factors for UTUC.Imaging modalities such as Uro-computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging play crucial roles in diagnosis.Ureterorenoscopy is vital for direct visualization and biopsy sampling,but its limited sampling capacity presents challenges in determining tumor depth and staging.Traditionally,nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision has been the gold-standard treatment for UTUC.Endoscopic conservative treatment has recently emerged as a viable option for selected patients,offering comparable oncological outcomes to radical surgery.Percutaneous access is also feasible for larger intrarenal tumors.CASE SUMMARY We present a case of an 84-year-old woman who underwent percutaneous endoscopic excision of a renal pelvis neoplasm using the Tullio laser.Despite successful tumor removal,the patient experienced a postoperative complication with abdominal fluid leakage.Conservative management effectively resolved the complication.Given the patient's age and refusal for radical surgery,the conservative approach proved to be a valid therapeutic choice.CONCLUSION Overall,UTUC remains a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its rarity.However,advances in endoscopic and percutaneous techniques provide valuable alternatives for selected patients,warranting further exploration in this evolving field. 展开更多

BACKGROUND The current standard surgical treatment for non-metastatic upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC)is radical nephroureterectomy(RNU)with bladder cuff excision(BCE).Typically,BCE techniques are classified in one of the following three categories:An open technique described as intrasvesical incision of the bladder cuff,a transurethral incision of the bladder cuff(TUBC),and an extravesical incision of the bladder cuff(EVBC)method.Even though each of these management techniques are widely used,there is no consensus about which surgical intervention is superior,with the best oncologic outcomes.AIM To investigate the oncological outcomes of three BCE methods during RNU for primary UTUC patients.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the data of 248 primary UTUC patients,who underwent RNU with BCE between January 2004 to December 2018.Patients were analyzed according to each BCE method.Data extracted included patient demographics,perioperative parameters,and oncological outcomes.Statistical analyses were performed using chi-square and log-rank tests.The Cox proportional hazards regression model was utilized to identify independent predictors.P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS Of the 248 participants,39.9%(n=99)underwent intrasvesical incision of the bladder cuff,38.7%(n=96)EVBC,and 21.4%(n=53)TUBC.At a median followup of 44.2 mo,bladder recurrence developed in 17.2%,12.5%,and 13.2%of the cases,respectively.Cancer-specific deaths occurred in 11.1%,5.2%,and 7.5%of patients,respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival curves with a log-rank test highlighted no significant differences in intravesical recurrence-free survival,cancer-specific survival,and overall survival among these approaches with P values of 0.987,0.825,and 0.497,respectively.Multivariate analysis showed that the lower ureter location appears to have inferior intravesical recurrence-free survival(P=0.042).However,cancer-specific survival and overall survival were independently influenced by tumor stage(hazard ratio[HR]=8.439;95%condence interval:2.424-29.377;P=0.001)and lymph node status(HR=14.343;95%CI:5.176-39.745;P<0.001).CONCLUSION All three techniques had comparable outcomes;although,EVBC and TUBC are minimally invasive.While based upon rather limited data,these findings will support urologists in blending experience with evidence to inform patient choices.However,larger,rigorously designed,multicenter studies with long term outcomes are still required. 展开更多

Upper tract urothelial cancers (UTUC) are uncommon and the information guiding their management used to be driven from small single center studies. Multi-center international collaborations should provide clinicians with best management practices as well as prognostic factors guiding treatment decisions and outcomes. We reviewed literature from the largest multicenter collaborations for radical nephroureterctomy (RNU) performed for management of UTUC. Our review included over 50 recent manuscripts from 2009-2012 that were published from multi-center UTUC collaboration groups. Our review aims to determine of the prognostic factors predicting oncological outcomes after RNU and to provide insights about possible maximization of cure with utilization of multimodal treatment approaches. Application of approaches comprising RNU including lymphadenectomy and systemic chemotherapy;particularly in neoadjuvant settings;might have implications on improvement of oncological outcomes in high risk patients. 展开更多

Introduction:In the management of upper tract urothelial cell carcinoma(UTUC)endoscopic,nephron sparing procedures like ureterorenoscopy(URS)or percutaneous tumour resection(PCTR)still play a very limited role.This could lead to possible unnecessary radical nephroureterectomies(RNU),still being the gold standard treatment.The risk of chronic kidney disease(CKD)later in life is important.In this study we present the results of 24-year experience with PCTR in a single institution.Methods:We identified 44 patients who underwent PCTR between 1992 and 2015.Radical resection was achieved in 40 patients who were included in this study.Demographic and clinical data,including tumour recurrence,progression to RNU,tumour grade and overall survival(OS)were retrospectively acquired.An outcome analysis was conducted.Results:Median age at diagnosis was 68 years(range 42-94 years).Low grade tumours were found in 37 patients(92.5%)and high grade tumours in three patients(7.5%).Median followup was 53 months during which 20 patients developed upper tract recurrences(50.0%).The longest time to recurrence was 97 months.At follow-up 11 patients(27.5%)underwent an RNU and two patients died from UTUC.RNU could be avoided in 29 patients(72.5%).In this study we found that multifocality is a significant risk factor for recurrence,but not for stage progression to RNU.Conclusion:PCTR is a surgically and oncologically safe procedure.Renal preservation in patients with UTUC who are eligible for percutaneous resection can be achieved in the majority of patients.Selection criteria for PCTR should be further refined,leading to a wider application of PCTR in the future.Follow-up needs invasive procedures and should be long term. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinomas(LELCs)are rare,malignant epithelial tumors,generally considered a subtype of squamous cell carcinoma.LELCs are undifferentiated and can occur in multiple tissues,although LELCs in the urinary tract are extremely rare.As such,evidence does not provide clinicians with guidelines for the best practices.Even though this is a rare disease,it is associated with high morbidity and mortality.Therefore,we must learn to differentiate LELC types and identify risk factors for early identification.AIM To develop an evidence base to guide clinicians treating primary LELCs of the upper urinary tract(UUT-LELC).METHODS We performed a systematic review of all reports on UUT-LELC from the first published case in 1998 until October 2019,according to the PRISMA.A database was then developed by extracting data from previously published reports in order to analyze interactions between clinical characteristics,pathological features,interventions and outcomes.Survival was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier estimates,which were compared using log rank tests.RESULTS A total of 28 previously published cases were identified for inclusion.The median age was 72 years with a male to female ratio of 4:3.Pure type LELCs were most common with 48.3%(n=14),followed by 37.9%(n=11)predominant LELCs and 3.4%(n=1)focal LELCs.Epstein-Barr virus testing was negative in all cases.Fourteen patients received radical nephroureterectomy(RNU)-based intervention.Twenty-three patients survived with no evidence of further metastasis,although six died before the median 18 mo follow-up point.Survival analysis suggests pure histological subtypes,and patients who receive complete tumor resection have more favorable prognoses.As always in cancer care,early identification generally increases the probability of interventional success.CONCLUSION The most effective treatment for UUT-LELC is RNU-based therapy.Since cases are few in number,case reporting must be enhanced and publishing encouraged to both save and prolong lives. 展开更多

Upper tract urothelial cell carcinoma(UTUCC),formerly known as transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract,is a rare oncologic disease in Western countries.Thus its disease process and its management are not as well defined as other urologic cancers. We are reviewing the current evidence based literature available to develop a plan for the treatment of UTUCC. A Pub Med search was completed using the key words "upper tract urothelial cell carcinoma","epidemiology","risk factor","treatment" and "prognosis". Six hundred fifty two articles were found. We narrowed our search to articles published between January 2004 and June 2016 for a more contemporary review of the topic. Four hundred seventy articles were then available for review. Further detailed search was performed for relevance on the topic and hundred one articles were selected for the review. Many risk factors have been found to be associated with the development of UTUCC,including tobacco use. Patients are often asymptomatic and may only present with microscopic or gross hematuria. Tumor grade and stage are pivotal in determining the treatment options for UTUCC. Advancements in endoscopic techniques have aided in the diagnosis,grading and treatment of this disease. Treatment options include topical therapy,with combinations of methotrexate,vinblastine,doxorubicin and cisplatin or gemcitibine or cisplatin,endoscopic resection,segmental ureterectomy and ureteral implantation,and nephroureterectomy,including bladder cuff. Treatment recommendations depend on tumor grade and stage,renal function,tumor location and the patient's prognosis. There are currently no tissue or blood-based biomarkers available to accurately monitor the disease. Further studies of gene expression and biomarkers may hopefully improve the management of this disease. Although rare in many countries,UTUCC is becoming more prevalent due to exposure to carcinogenic herbal remedies and other identifiable risk factors. Numerous treatment modalities,both surgical and chemotherapeutic,have been utilized to treat both low and high grade UTUCC tumors. Additional clinical trials are necessary to further develop methods for screening,treatment,and surveillance to improve management. 展开更多

Segmental ureterectomy is less invasive than radical nephroureterectomy and results in nephron preservation and satisfactory tumor control.This study was to determine the feasibility of segmental ureteroileal conduit resection(SUICR) for patients with distal upper urinary tract recurrence of bladder cancer following radical cystectomy.Four patients with high-grade distal upper urinary tract recurrence underwent SUICR 15-108 months after radical cystectomy.The surgical technique details of SUICR,operative results,and follow-up outcomes are reported.The median operation time was 280 min,and estimated blood loss was less than 100 ml One patient suffered from ileus 5 days after surgery and was managed conservatively.Histopathologic evaluation showed high-grade stages pTa-pT1 diseases for these patients,and ureteral margins were all negative.No patient suffered from tumor recurrence,with a median follow-up of 39 months.SUICR preserved the ipsilateral renal unit and conformed to oncological principles during surgery.The oncological outcome was satisfactory for these properly selected patients.This technique provides a valid alternative to nephroureterectomy for patients with imperative indications and high-grade upper urinary tract recurrence of bladder cancer following radical cystectomy. 展开更多

Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas(UTUCs)are uncommon and account for only 5%e10%of urothelial carcinomas.Pyelocaliceal tumors are about twice as common as ureteral tumors.Sixty percent of UTUCs are invasive at diagnosis.Radical nephroureterectomy,including the excision of the distal ureter and bladder cuff is standard of care for treatment of localized UTUCs,because of the high potential for recurrence,multifocality,and progression.Since first laparoscopic nephroureterectomy(LNU)was introduced by Clayman et al.in 1991 and improvement of laparoscopic technique and equipment,LNU has been reported to be equivalent to conventional open method.We reviewed the current literature of patients with UTUCs treated by LNU focusing on technical aspects,peri-operative and oncological outcomes.Laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy offers the advantages of minimally invasive surgery without deteriorating the oncological outcome for treatment of UTUCs.Indications tend to increase as operator skills increase.Indications for laparoscopic or open nephroureterectomy are in principle the same.The basic requirement for laparoscopic surgery in UTUCs is to achieve benefits of minimal invasive surgery and maintain oncologic principles. 展开更多

Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is relatively rare compared to urothelial carcinoma of the lower tract, comprising only 5%-10% of all urothelial cancers. Although both entities share histologic properties, UTUC tends to be more invasive at diagnosis and portend a worse prognosis, with a 5 year overall mortality of 23%. To date, the gold standard management of UTUC has been radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), with nephron sparing techniques reserved for solitary kidneys or cases where the patient could not tolerate radical surgery. Limited data from these series, as well as select series where nephron-sparing endoscopic management has been offered to a broader patient base, suggest that minimally invasive, nephron sparing techniques can offer comparable oncologic and survival outcomes to RNU in appropriately selected patients. We review the current literature on the topic and discuss long term outcomes and sequelae of the gold standard treatment, RNU. We also discuss the oncologic outcomes of minimally invasive, endoscopic management of UTUC. Our goal is to provide the reader a comprehensive overview of the current state of the feld in order to inform and guide their treatment decisions. 展开更多

Objective:We evaluated who would need further evaluations such as retrograde pyelography(RP)and/or ureteroscopy to diagnose upper urinary tract urothelial cancers(UUTUCs)when abnormal findings for the upper urinary tract(UUT)were detected by enhanced computed tomography(CT).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 125 patients who underwent enhanced CT for various reasons and had abnormal findings for the UUT.Patients whose tumors were suspected to be of extraureteral origin were excluded.All patients received RP and/or ureteroscopy to evaluate the UUTUCs.Results:The median age of the 125 patients was 70 years and gross hematuria(26.4%)was the most frequently observed symptoms.RP,ureteroscopy and both were performed for 121,59 and 55 patients,respectively.CT revealed tumor-like lesions in 58 patients and the other patients had non-tumor-like lesions.UUTUCs were found in 43(34.4%)of the 125 patients.All of them had tumor-like lesions on CT.In 58 patients who had tumor-like lesions on CT,univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that tumor diameter and tumor enhancement were significant predictive factors for UUTUCs.ROC curve analysis of enhanced CT to diagnose UUTUCs revealed that a tumor diameter of 18 mm was the best cutoff point.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 90.0%,98.8% and 92.7% for RP and 95.5%,100% and 97.1%for ureteroscopy,respectively.Both of them had high sensitivity,specificity and accuracy.Conclusion:We should decide to evaluate the UUT according to the tumor diameter on enhanced CT.When we evaluate the UUT in patients with tumor diameters of less than 20 mm,ureteroscopy is recommended. 展开更多

BACKGROUND Urothelial carcinoma(UC)is a common malignancy of the urinary system that can occur anywhere from the renal pelvis to the proximal urethra.Most UCs are in the bladder and have multifocal growth.Upper urinary tract UC(UTUC),which occurs in the renal pelvis or ureter,accounts for only 5%to 10%of UCs.CASE SUMMARY In March 2015,a 70-year-old male who initially presented to a local hospital with a complaint of painless hematuria was diagnosed with UTUC of the right renal pelvis.The doctors administered radical nephroureterectomy and bladder cuff excision.Although the doctors recommended intravesical chemotherapy and regular follow-up,he rejected this advice.In December 2016,the patient presented at our hospital with dysuria.We identified UC in the residual bladder and administered radical cystectomy and left cutaneous ureterostomy.In November 2021,he presented again with urethral bleeding.We detected urethral UC as the cause of urethral orifice bleeding and administered radical urethrectomy.Since then,he has visited regularly for 6-mo follow-ups,and was in stable condition as of December 2022.CONCLUSION UTUC is prone to seeding and recurrence.Adjuvant instillation therapy and intense surveillance are crucial for these patients. 展开更多

Background Upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC)is an aggressive disease with a high progression rate.The standardmanagement for this disease is nephroureterectomy.Nephron sparing nonradical surgery is an alternative therapeutic approach.In men with limited life expectancy,the potential harm of UTUC progression must be weighed against surgical morbidity and mortality,and thus,more conservative approaches may be selected.This study aims to investigate the comparative benefits of radical and conservative surgical management in patients older than 80 years with localized UTUC.Materials and methods A search was conducted in the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results database for patients older than 80 years who were diagnosed with localized(T1–2N0M0)cancer in the renal pelvis or ureter as the only malignancy from 2004 to 2015.Patients were divided into 3 therapeutic groups:no surgery,local intervention(ie,local tumor excision or segmented ureterectomy),and radical surgery(nephroureterectomy).Demographic and cancer-related parameter data were collected.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate predictors for surgical treatment.Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression were used to analyze survival outcomes.Results Data from 774 patients were analyzed,including 205 in the no-surgery group,181 in the local intervention group,and 388 in the radical surgery group.Older,African American patients with T1 stage disease were less likely to receive surgical treatment.Among surgically treated patients,renal pelvic tumors,and high-grade and T2 stage disease were associated with radical resection.Surgically treated patients had a longer median overall survival(OS)than in those treated nonsurgically(13,35,and 47 months in no-surgery,local intervention,and radical surgery groups,respectively;p<0.001).Although surgically treated patients demonstrated higher 5-year OS(8.8%[no surgery],23.2%[local intervention],and 23.5%[radical surgery],p<0.001)and 5-year disease-specific survival(DSS)(41.0%[no surgery],69.1%[local intervention],and 72.9%[radical surgery];p<0.001)than in those treated nonsurgically,no significant differences were found between the local intervention and radical surgery groups(p>0.05).Based on multivariate Cox regression analysis,surgical treatments,including both nonradical and radical resection,were independently associated with improved OS and DSS after controlling for age,marital status,tumor grade,and radiation status.Conclusions Patients older than 80 years with localized UTUC who undergo surgery demonstrate longer survival.Radical and nonradical resections seemto have similar OS and DSS outcomes.Thus,when clinically indicated in this population,a more conservative surgical approach may be reasonable. 展开更多

Lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma(LELC)is a rare,malignant epithelial tumour which can arise within the upper urinary tract.This letter adds to a previous systematic review and cumulative analysis of 28 published upper urinary tract-LELC cases which provided insight into this disease;however,the current evidence does not provide clinicians with clear guidelines due to its rarity.Therefore,the aim was to report a new case of renal pelvis LELC presented in our hospital.In this instance,we were able to report treatment experience and longterm follow-up results.This patient presented with hypertension and haemturia which initiated further investigation.While ultrasound identified an hypechoic mass,no malignant cells were detected using cytological testing.Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging identified a slightly enhanced mass in the left renal pelvis with no evidence of lymph node metastasis.Ureteroscopic tumor biopsy suggested the existence of urothelial carcinoma,hence,laparoscopic radical left nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision was performed.Through patientpractitioner consultations,we decided to adopt a"watch and wait"approach after radical nephroureterectomy rather than administering chemotherapy.Although,we would encourage clinicians to record and publish cases to garner insight into this type of malignant disease. 展开更多

Endoscopic management via retrograde ureteroscopic laser ablation of upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC)has become the preferred treatment modality for low-risk tumors.The most popular ablative lasers over the past 15-20 years have been the holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet(Ho∶YAG)and neodymium(Nd∶YAG)lasers,but recently the thulium(Th∶YAG)laser has emerged as a potential alternative.This review compares the mechanism of action,physiological properties and effects,and oncologic outcomes of Ho∶YAG/Nd∶YAG lasers versus the Th∶YAG laser for UTUC treatment.Potential advantages of the Th∶YAG laser over existing technologies are outlined,followed by a discussion of emerging laser technologies in UTUC management. 展开更多

Objective:Lynch syndrome(LS)is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder resulting from germline mutation in at least one of the four mismatch repair genes or in EPCAM gene.From a clinical perspective,LS patients exhibit an increased predisposition to multiple primary malignancies and early age of onset compared to general population.We aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of all the genitourinary manifestations of LS,focusing on incidence,diagnosis,clinical features,therapeutic strategies,and screening protocols.Methods:Previous literature was assessed through Medline,Scopus,and Google Scholar data-bases.A narrative review of the most relevant articles from January 1996 to June 2021 on urological manifestations of LS was provided.Results:In the LS tumor spectrum,upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC)represents the third most frequent malignancy,and the first most common cancer in the urological field,with an approximately 14-fold increased risk of developing UTUC compared to general population.LS diagnosis among patients experiencing UTUC as first malignancy is a step-by-step process,including(i)clinical criteria,(ii)molecular testing,and(iii)genetic testing to confirm the hereditary disorder.The current European Association of Urology(EAU)guidelines recommend to perform molecular testing among UTUC patients under 65 years old,or UTUC patients with personal history of LS-related tumor,or UTUC patients with one first-degree relative under the age of 50 years with LS-related tumor,or UTUC patients with two first-degree relatives with LS-related tumor regardless of age of onset.Newly diagnosed LS patients should be referred to a multidisci-plinary management,including gastroenterologists and gynecologists.Finally,considering the increased risk of metachronous recurrence,treatments other than radical nephroureterectomy may be a valuable therapeutic alternative.Whether urological malignancies other than UTUC should be included in the LS tumor spectrum is still controversial.Conclusion:Considering the strict association between UTUC and LS,we believe that the urologist should recognize patients at increased risk for hereditary disease according to current EAU clinical criteria and address them to a comprehensive diagnostic algorithm,including molecular evaluationandgenetic testing.To date,literature lacks clear evidence regarding the role of LS in developing bladder cancer,prostate cancer,or renal cell carcinoma,and current data are still inconclusive,highlighting the urgent need for further studies. 展开更多

Objectives:To test for differences in overall and recurrence-free survival between laparoscopic and open surgical approaches in patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy(RNU)for upper tract urothelial carcinoma(UTUC).Materials and methods:We retrospectively identified patients treated for UTUC from 2010 to 2020 from our institutional database.Patients undergoing laparoscopic or open RNU with no suspicion of metastasis(cM0)were for the current study population.Patients with suspected metastases at diagnosis(cM1)or those undergoing other surgical treatments were excluded.Tabulation was performed according to the laparoscopic versus open surgical approach.Kaplan-Meier plots were used to test for differences in overall and recurrence-free survival with regard to the surgical approach.Furthermore,separate Kaplan-Meier plots were used to test the effect of preoperative ureterorenoscopy on overall and recurrence-free survival within the overall study cohort.Results:Of the 59 patients who underwent nephroureterectomy,29%(n=17)underwent laparoscopic nephroureterectomy,whereas 71%(n=42)underwent open nephroureterectomy.Patient and tumor characteristics were comparable between groups(p≥0.2).The median overall survival was 93 and 73 months in the laparoscopic nephroureterectomy group compared to the open nephroureterectomy group(p=0.5),respectively.The median recurrence-free survival did not differ between open and laparoscopic nephroureterectomies(73 months for both groups;p=0.9).Furthermore,the median overall and recurrence-free survival rates did not differ between patients treated with and without preoperative ureterorenoscopy.Conclusions:The results of this retrospective,single-center institution showed that overall and recurrence-free survival rates did not differ between patients with UTUC treated with laparoscopic and open RNU.Furthermore,preoperative ureterorenoscopy before RNU was not associated with higher overall or recurrence-free survival rates. 展开更多

Background:The pretreatment neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported to be a prognostic factor in various types of carcinomas.The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of pretreatment NLR in a large cohort of Chinese patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the medical data of 656 UTUC patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) from 2001 to 2011 at Peking University First Hospital.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to calculate the optimal cutoffpoint of pretreatment NLR.Uni-and multi-variate analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors for cancer-specific survival (CSS) and intravesical recurrence-free survival (IVRFS).Results:The optimal cutoff point of pretreatment NLR was 2.40 by ROC curves,by which patients with high NLR (NLR 〉2.40) and low NLR (NLR 〈2.40) accounted for 314 (47.9%) and 342 (52.1%) patients,respectively.Patients with a high pretreatment NLR tended to have high tumor grades (x2 =15.725,P〈 0.001),high tumor stages (x2 =25.416,P〈 0.001),tumor sizes 〉5 cm (x2 =8.213,P=0.005),ipsilateral hydronephrosis (x2 =4.624,P =0.033),and concomitant carcinoma in situ (CIS) (x2 =9.517,P =0.003).A high pretreatment NLR (hazard ratio [HR] =1.820,P=0.001),main tumor diameter 〉5 cm (HR =1.789,P =0.009),lymph node metastasis (HR =1.863,P =0.024),and high tumor stage (HR =1.745,P 〈 0.001) independently predicted poor CSS after surgery,while only concomitant carcinoma in situ (CIS) (HR =2.164,P =0.034),ureteroscopy before surgery (HR =1.701,P =0.015),and high tumor grade (HR =1.645,P =0.018) were independent predictors of IVRFS after RNU.Conclusions:The pretreatment NLR was related to some adverse clinicopathological features and was an independent predictor of CSS,although not IVRFS,in Chinese UTUC patients. 展开更多
