Abstract:
【Objective】 To investigate the prognostic value of tumor location in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), and to develop and validate a nomogram model for predicting the overall survival (OS). 【Methods】 UTUC patients undergoing RUN at our hospital during Jan.2010 and Dec.2022 were retrospectively collected, 70% of whom were included in the training group and 30% in the validation group.According to the tumor location, patients were divided into renal pelvis tumor (RPT) group and ureteral tumor (UT) group.The differences in clinicopathological features and prognosis were analyzed.Based on multivariate Cox results, a nomogram model for predicting OS was developed and validated. 【Results】 A total of 366 patients (196 RPT and 170 UT) were included in this study.There were statistically significantly differences in urine cytology (P=0.001), hydronephrosis (P<0.001), history of bladder tumor (P=0.021), pathological T stage (P<0.001) and histological structure (P=0.037) between the two groups.Multivariate Cox results showed that patients with UT had a worse prognosis (HR=2.00, 95%CI: 1.22-3.27, P=0.006).Factors of the nomogram for predicting OS included age, tumor location, lymphovascular invasion and pathological T stage.The model showed good discrimination and calibration, and performed well in internal verification. 【Conclusion】 Compared with RPT, UT has a worse prognosis and the fat around the tumor should be surgically removed more thoroughly to avoid micro-residual.We successfully coustructed a nomogram model that can be used to predict the OS of UTUC patients after RNU surgery.
