BACKGROUND/AIM: To evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the urinary tract (UT) urothelium, and investigate the utility of perioperative chemotherapy.
Thirty-three patients diagnosed with SCC in renal pelvis, ureter and bladder at the Kanazawa University between 2007 and 2017 were included in this retrospective study. Cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates according to cancer stage and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) were determined.
Among the entire cohort, two-year CSS rates were 100%, 75%, 47% and 0% in stages I, II, III and IV, respectively, with a significant correlation between CSS and cancer stage (p=0.0063). Sixteen patients underwent radical surgery, and seven patients received NAC; however, there were no significant differences in CSS rates among patients stratified by NAC (p=0.7043).
Worse cancer stage for SCC of UT urothelium was associated with worse prognosis. Given the poor efficacy of NAC in these patients, surgical treatment should be preferred.
背景/目的:评估尿路(UT)尿路上皮鳞状细胞癌(SCC)的临床病理特征及预后,并探讨围手术期化疗的效用。
本回顾性研究纳入了2007年至2017年间在金泽大学被诊断为肾盂、输尿管及膀胱SCC的33例患者。根据癌症分期及新辅助化疗(NAC)确定癌症特异性生存率(CSS)。
在整个队列中,I、II、III和IV期的两年CSS率分别为100%、75%、47%和0%,CSS与癌症分期之间存在显著相关性(p = 0.0063)。16例患者接受了根治性手术,7例患者接受了NAC;然而,按NAC分层的患者之间CSS率无显著差异(p = 0.7043)。
UT尿路上皮SCC的癌症分期越差,预后越差。鉴于NAC对这些患者疗效不佳,应首选手术治疗。
