Survival and risk factors among upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients after radical nephroureterectomy in Northeast China

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The study objective was to investigate the prognostic risk factors related to overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS) after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Patients were then divided into different risk groups (based on their number of prognostic risk factors), and specific postoperative treatment plans were formulated for patients in different risk groups.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the data of 401 patients with UTUC who underwent RNU between 2010 and 2020. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate the associations of clinicopathological variables with prognosis among UTUC patients. Kaplan–Meier
