Analysis of prognostic factors of primary ureteral carcinoma / 中华泌尿外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the prognostic factors of primary ureteral carcinoma,and to analyze the risk factors of the occurrence of subsequent bladder cancer. Methods This series included 160 cases of primary ureteral carcinoma (93 men and 67 women;mean age,63.7 years).Of them,81 cases had the tumors on the left and 79 on the right;the tumors were located at the upper and middle parts of the ureter in 51 cases,and at the lower part in 96.Pathological staging showed T a (9 cases),T 1(58),T 2(46),T 3(41) and T 4(6);the grading showed G 1(4),G 2(119) and G 3(37).All the 160 cases underwent surgery.Among them,renal and full length of ureter resection plus sleeve resection of bladder were performed on 124 cases (77.5%).All the cases were followed up and the results were statistically analyzed. Results The overall 5-year survival rate was 53.0%.The 5-year survival rates of T a,T 1 and T 2 cases (83.3%,71.9%,59.1%,respectively) were significantly higher than those of T 3 and T 4 cases (37.5% and 16.7%,P
