摘要

The authors performed a multicenter retrospective evaluation of 1029 patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) who underwent nephroureterectomy at 10 Canadian institutions between 1990 and 2010. They assessed survival in patients with positive and negative lymph node disease, and evaluated the association between the number of positive nodes, the number of nodes removed, and the ratio of positive nodes to total nodes removed (lymph node density). The study confirmed known outcomes: that those patients with N+ disease have significantly shorter overall survival, disease-specific survival, and recurrence-free survival compared with patients with NO and NX disease. Interestingly, however, the authors show that a lymph node density of >=20% was associated with significantly worsening overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared with patients with a lymph node density of <20%, and this finding remained positive even after assessment of nodal density as a continuous measure. However, the number of positive nodes and the number of nodes removed were not associated with survival in any analysis. The authors concluded that it remains uncertain whether lymph node dissection independently improves survival in patients with UTUC. The authors
