Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant systemic chemotherapy for locally advanced (pT3-4pN0/xM0) upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).

Materials and methods

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 109 patients with pT3-4pN0/xM0 UTUC who had undergone radical nephroureterectomy between 1996 and 2013 at our four institutions. The patients were divided into two groups: those who received adjuvant chemotherapy (AC group) and those who did not (surgery-alone: SA group). All chemotherapy regimens were cisplatin-based. Cox proportional hazards regression models addressed the associations between clinicopathological factors and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS).

Results

Forty-three (39.5%) out of the 109 patients underwent one to four cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy after nephroureterectomy. Median follow-up was 46.5 months. There were no significant differences in the background characteristics of the two groups, except for age. Recurrence developed in 11 (25.6%) and 29 (43.9%) patients in the AC and SA groups, respectively. Ultimately, six (14.0%) and 18 (27.3%) patients in the AC and SA groups, respectively, died of disease progression. On univariate analysis, hydronephrosis, nuclear grade, lymphovascular invasion, and adjuvant chemotherapy were significantly associated with both RFS and CSS. Charlson comorbidity index was associated only with CSS. On multivariate analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy was the only independent factor associated with improved RFS (p = 0.0178, HR = 0.41). Moreover, adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.0375, HR = 0.33), lower nuclear grade (p = 0.0070), and the absence of hydronephrosis (p = 0.0493) were independently associated with better CSS.

Conclusion

Locally advanced (pT3-4pN0/xM0) UTUC patients who underwent cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy demonstrated better RFS and CSS than those without adjuvant chemotherapy.

Adjuvante Immuntherapie verlängert Leben bei RCC

25.04.2024 Nierenkarzinom Nachrichten

Nun gibt es auch Resultate zum Gesamtüberleben: Eine adjuvante Pembrolizumab-Therapie konnte in einer Phase-3-Studie das Leben von Menschen mit Nierenzellkarzinom deutlich verlängern. Die Sterberate war im Vergleich zu Placebo um 38% geringer.

Bei Senioren mit Prostatakarzinom auf Anämie achten!

24.04.2024 DGIM 2024 Nachrichten

Patienten, die zur Behandlung ihres Prostatakarzinoms eine Androgendeprivationstherapie erhalten, entwickeln nicht selten eine Anämie. Wer ältere Patienten internistisch mitbetreut, sollte auf diese Nebenwirkung achten.

Stufenschema weist Prostatakarzinom zuverlässig nach

Erst PSA-Test, dann Kallikrein-Score, schließlich MRT und Biopsie – ein vierstufiges Screening-Schema kann die Zahl der unnötigen Prostatabiopsien erheblich reduzieren: Die Hälfte der Männer, die in einer finnischen Studie eine Biopsie benötigten, hatte einen hochgradigen Tumor.

Harnwegsinfektprophylaxe: Es geht auch ohne Antibiotika

Beim chronischen Harnwegsinfekt bei Frauen wird bisher meist eine Antibiotikaprophylaxe eingesetzt. Angesichts der zunehmenden Antibiotikaresistenz erweist sich das Antiseptikum Methenamin-Hippurat als vielversprechende Alternative, so die Auswertung einer randomisierten kontrollierten Studie.
