Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to analyze how common surgically induced chronic kidney disease (CKD-S) is in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) after they undergo radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), focusing on survival outcomes.* -
- Researchers looked at data from 1,862 patients and found that 34.7% developed CKD-S3a and 39.6% developed CKD-S3b after surgery, with older age, lower preoperative kidney function, and certain chemotherapy treatments linked to higher risks of developing CKD-S3b.* -
- The study revealed that while CKD-S3b patients had worse overall survival rates (59% over 5 years), CK
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy on survival rates in patients with Upper tract urothelial carcinoma undergoing Nephroureterectomy, using data from a multicenter registry.
- A total of 1,994 patients were analyzed, revealing that neoadjuvant chemotherapy notably improved cancer-specific and overall survival, especially in patients with advanced tumors or positive nodes.
- The results suggest a significant survival benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy, indicating a need for further research to explore its impact in this patient population.
Background: The role of kidney-sparing surgery in patients with high-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is controversial. The present study aimed to assess oncological and functional outcomes of robot-assisted distal ureterectomy in patients with high-risk distal ureteral tumors.
