Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS) is a widely used functional status measure in oncology, yet its prognostic value in upper tract urothelial carcinoma remains unclear. In this multicenter study of 2473 patients undergoing radical nephroureterectomy, ECOG-PS ≥ 2 was independently associated with worse overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 2.53, p < 0.001), cancer-specific survival (HR 2.02, p < 0.001), and disease-free survival (HR 1.50, p = 0.003) than those with ECOG-PS 0-1. They also had a higher risk of major perioperative complications (odds ratio 2.46, p < 0.001). These findings support ECOG-PS as a valuable preoperative risk stratification tool.
东部肿瘤协作组体能状态(ECOG-PS)是肿瘤学中广泛使用的功能状态衡量指标,但其在上尿路尿路上皮癌中的预后价值仍不明确。在这项对2473例接受根治性肾输尿管切除术患者的多中心研究中,与ECOG-PS为0-1的患者相比,ECOG-PS≥2与较差的总生存期(风险比[HR] 2.53,p<0.001)、癌症特异性生存期(HR 2.02,p<0.001)和无病生存期(HR 1.50,p = 0.003)独立相关。他们发生围手术期重大并发症的风险也更高(比值比2.46,p<0.001)。这些发现支持将ECOG-PS作为一种有价值的术前风险分层工具。
