- The review focuses on identifying pathological factors that can predict survival outcomes in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), specifically looking at recurrence free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS).
- A systematic search of literature was conducted, analyzing 63 studies involving over 35,000 patients to assess the impact of various factors like tumor grade, stage, and lymphovascular invasion on survival.
- Results indicated that several pathological factors (excluding tumor location and necrosis) are linked to worse RFS, CSS, and OS, while tumor location and necrosis did not significantly impact survival outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- - Pancake kidney is a rare condition where the kidneys are fused together, which complicates kidney surgery due to unusual blood vessels.
- - It's even rarer to find kidney cancer, specifically renal cell carcinoma, in patients with this fusion anomaly.
- - The article presents a case where a successful partial nephrectomy was performed with careful planning, resulting in good cancer control and preservation of kidney function.
