Abstract
- Material and Methods: Study of the pathoanatomical features and influential factors on survival of 59 patients diagnosed with a tumour of the upper tract urothelium managed with radical surgery.<br />Results: Mean age 65 years, 83% male, and tumour located in the renal pelvis in 64% cases. 54% was pT1-2, 73% G1-2. 10% had node involvement and 15% metastasis. 44% presented concomitant vesical tumour. No surgery-related deaths were reported. 60% was still alive at study completion. Five-year overall actuarial survival was 60 +/- 7%. Mean survival was 134 months, and median survival 156(101-168 months. 95% CI). Gender, site, morphology, type, concomitant vesical tumour, nodes number and involvement do not significantly influence survival. Only tumour differentiation (p = 0.006) and pathological stage (p = 0.005) are significant in the univariate analysis. The multivariate study showed that pathological stage is the only factor that influences survival.<br />Conclusions: The most influential independent factor on survival of patients with upper tract endothelium tumour is the pathological stage. Grade is influential in the univariate analysis, and is likely to be a subsidiary factor. Due to the small number of cases, it can not be ruled out that node involvement and type of tumour have an influence on survival.
