A critical appraisal of the value of lymph node dissection at nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma.
OBJECTIVES To perform a population-based analysis of the potential staging or prognostic value (or both) of lymph node dissection (LND) in patients without nodal metastases vs no LND. In several previous reports, LND in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) treated with nephroureterectomy (NU) was associated with better survival relative to no LND (pN(x)), even in the absence of...
متن کاملLaparoscopic nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma – Update
Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUCs) are uncommon and account for only 5%-10% 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 ...

متن کاملPrognostic significance of sarcopenia in upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy
We investigated the prognostic significance of sarcopenia in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated from computed tomography images. Sarcopenia was defined as SMI <43 cm(2) /m(2) for males with body mass index <25 kg/m(2) , <53 cm(2) /m(2) for males with BMI ≥25 kg/m(2) , and <41 cm(2) /m(2) ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of clinicopathological factors including age, gender, tumor grade, tumor stage, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), tumor necrosis and previous history of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer on outcomes of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). MATERIAL AND METHODS A...
