Background: The aim of this work was to evaluate the prognostic potential of preoperative thrombocytosis for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) among patients subjected to radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) due to UTUC.
Patients And Methods: Analytical cohort was composed of a single-center series of 405 patients treated between January 1999 and December 2020. Thrombocytosis was defined as a platelet count exceeding the threshold value of 400 × 10 per L.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prognostic significance of the De Ritis ratio in predicting cancer outcomes for patients with urothelial bladder cancer undergoing radical cystectomy.
- A cohort of 367 patients was examined, revealing that a higher De Ritis ratio is linked to factors like age, gender, and cancer-related mortality, with significant impacts on overall and cancer-specific survival rates.
- The findings suggest that the De Ritis ratio can serve as a valuable predictive biomarker for oncological outcomes in these patients, although it was not associated with recurrence-free survival.
Background: Since earlier research suggested a link between preoperative thrombocytosis and poor oncological outcomes in several cancers, the significance of platelet count abnormalities in bladder carcinoma (BC) demands for further investigation.
Objective: To assess the prognostic value of preoperative thrombocytosis (PTC) on survival in patients with bladder carcinoma treated by radical cystectomy (RC).
Patients And Methods: Analytical cohort comprised a single-center series of 299 patients who underwent RC for bladder carcinoma was evaluated.
To identify the prognostic impact of tumor multifocality on upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) outcomes in patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Study included 342 consecutive patients with UTUC. Tumor multifocality was defined as the synchronous presence of 2 or more pathologically confirmed tumors in any upper urinary tract location.
