ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the efficiency of prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy after nephroureterectomy for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma.Methods Forty-seven patients with primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma who underwent nephroureterectomy were retrospectively analyzed.There were 25 male and 22 female patients with mean age of 68 years.Patients were divided into intravesical chemotherapy group (n =32) and non-intravesical chemotherapy group (n =15).In the intravesical chemotherapy group, there were 14 male and 18 female patients with mean age of 70.3 years;20 cases located at left side while 12 at the right side.In non-intravesical chemotherapy group, There were 11 male and 4 female patients with mean age of 65.0 years;10 cases located at left side while 5 at the right side.The age, gender, side of the two groups were not statistical different.The two groups were followed up, and the tumor stage, grade, recurrence rate, cancer-free survival time were compared.Results The pathology results of all cases were urothelial carcinoma.In the intravesical chemotherapy group, 23 cases were high grade tumors with 9 low grade tumors.There were 15 cases of Ta-T1 stage, 8 cases of T2 stage and 9 cases of T3 stage;the tumor of 19 cases located at pelvis, 12 located at ureter, 1 located at pelvis and ureter;the mean size of the tumors was (2.75 ± 1.49) cm;8 cases were multiple while 24 were single.In the non-intravesical chemotherapy group, 12 cases were high grade tumors with 3 low grade tumors, there were 6 cases of Ta-T1 stage, 4 cases of T2 stage and 5 cases of T3 stage;the tumor of 11 cases located at pelvis, 3 located at ureter, 1 located at pelvis and ureter;the mean size of the tumors was (3.11 ± 1.48) cm;6 cases were multiple while 9 were single.The items mentioned above did not reach statistical difference between the two groups(P >0.05).6 patients relapsed in intravesical chemotherapy group while 7 in non-intravesical chemotherapy group.The recurrence rate of bladder cancer of intravesical chemotherapy group was lower than that of non-intravesical chemotherapy group (18.75% vs.46.67%, χ2 =3.978, P =0.046).Compared with non-intravesical chemotherapy group, intravesical chemotherapy group had longer cancer-free survival, but it did not reach statistical difference (36.5months vs.29.6months, t =1.079, P =0.286).The age and tumor grade were risk factors of bladder cancer recurrence, meanwhile the gender, tumor side, tumor stage, voided urine cytology, tumor size, and location were not.Conclusion Prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy after nephroureterectomy for primary upper tract urothelial carcinoma could reduce the recurrence rate of bladder cancer.
