Worse survival in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in the presence of a tumour in the ureter vs. pelvicalyceal tumours is reported in some studies; however, the definition of ureteral involvement (UI) varies across studies. We systematically evaluated evidence regarding the prognostic role of UI in overall and cancer-specific survival of patients with UTUC.
A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus and Web of Knowledge was performed in March 2018.
The results were presented as a comparison between ureteral vs. pelvicalyceal tumours. A total of 14,895 patients were identified. Cumulative analyses indicated that UI worsens cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS), with a pooled HR of 1.52 ( < 0.001) and 1.39 ( = 0.004), respectively.
Our meta-analysis identified UI in UTUC as an adverse prognostic factor.
一些研究报告称,输尿管存在肿瘤的上尿路尿路上皮癌(UTUC)患者的生存率低于肾盂肿瘤患者;然而,各研究中输尿管受累(UI)的定义有所不同。我们系统地评估了关于UI对UTUC患者总生存和癌症特异性生存的预后作用的证据。
2018年3月对PubMed、Scopus和Web of Knowledge进行了系统检索。
结果以输尿管肿瘤与肾盂肿瘤的比较形式呈现。共识别出14895例患者。累积分析表明,UI会使癌症特异性生存(CSS)和总生存(OS)恶化,合并风险比分别为1.52(<0.001)和1.39(=0.004)。
我们的荟萃分析确定UTUC中的UI是一个不良预后因素。
