325 Background: Prognosis of the patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) who developed recurrence after radical cystectomy (RC) is generally poor, but can be variable. We previously showed that shorter time to recurrence (TTR) after RC, presence of symptoms on recurrence, more than one metastatic sites (organs), high serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level were associated with decreased survival in those patients, and proposed a model to stratify patients into 3 separate risk groups (Nakagawa et al. J Urol. 2013; 189:1275). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of this model in a multi-institutional cohort of patients. Methods: We identified 267 patients who experienced disease recurrence after RC for UCB from 9 academic and community hospitals. Patients were categorized into three groups based on the presence of four risk factors, TTR of <1 year, presence of symptoms on recurrence, more than one metastatic sites (organs), and CRP level of ≥0.5 mg/dl: the favourable risk group included patients with none or one of these risk factors; the intermediate risk group with 2 risk factors; and those with 3 or 4 risk factors were assigned to the poor risk group. Results: Overall, median survival time (MST) of the entire cohort was 8.3 months (95%CI, 6.4-9.1). Two hundred and nineteen patients died of their disease with a median survival of 5.9 months. In a multivariate analysis, all of the 4 risk factors were statistically significant for the cancer-specific survival. Sixty-five (27.4%), 84 (35.4%), and 88 (37.1%) patients were in the favorable, intermediate and poor risk group, respectively. Thirty patients were excluded because CRP value was not obtained. MSTs of the patients in the favorable, intermediate and poor risk group were 22.2 (95% CI 16.1-28.3), 7.6 (95% CI 6.3-9.5), and 3.6 (95% CI 2.6-4.4) months, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001, log-rank test). Conclusions: We confirmed the prognostic value of our previous criteria based on the four variables in patients with recurrence after RC for UCB. This criteria would help in patient counseling and clinical trial design.

Abstract This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the prognostic value of preoperative hematologic biomarkers in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder treated with radical cystectomy. PUBMED, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases were searched in September 2019 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis statement. Studies were deemed eligible if they compared cancer-specific survival in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder with and without pretreatment laboratoryabnormalities. Formal meta-analyses were performed for this outcome. The systematic review identified 36 studies with 23,632 patients, of these, 32 studies with 22,224 patients were eligible for the meta-analysis. Several preoperative hematologic biomarkers were significantly associated with cancer-specific survival as follows: neutrophil − lymphocyte ratio (pooled hazard ratio [HR]: 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11–1.29), hemoglobin (pooled HR: 0.87, 95% CI 0.82–0.94), C-reactive protein (pooled HR: 1.44, 95% CI 1.26–1.66), De Ritis ratio (pooled HR: 2.18, 95% CI 1.37–3.48), white blood cell count (pooled HR: 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.07), and albumin-globulin ratio (pooled HR: 0.26, 95% CI 0.14–0.48). Several pretreatment laboratory abnormalities in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder were associated with cancer-specific mortality. Therefore, it might be useful to incorporate such hematologic biomarkers into prognostic tools for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. However, given the study limitations including heterogeneity and retrospective nature of the primary data, the conclusions should be interpreted with caution.

Introduction: We sought to determine the value of obtaining preoperative urinary cytology when diagnostic workup of an upper tract mass is suspicious for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), but biopsy fails to confirm the diagnosis.Methods: Using billing code data, 239 patients were identified as having undergone radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) by 16 urologists from September 29, 1998 to July 31, 2015. Of this group, 19 adult patients had a presumed preoperative diagnosis of UTUC in a native kidney, at least three months of followup, no history of concurrent radical cystectomy with RNU, and negative/non-diagnostic tissue biopsy. These patients were divided into three groups: Group A had no urinary cytology taken (n=6); Group B had upper and/or lower tract cytology performed with neither positive nor atypical (n=7); Group C had upper and/or lower tract cytology performed with at least one positive or atypical (n=6).Results: Demographic information and diagnostic workup was similar between the groups, although Group A had more patients with a history of prior radical cystectomy for bladder cancer (p=0.02). One patient in Group B had benign tissue on final pathology. All patients in Groups A and C had malignancy on final pathology and overall, the three groups had similar rates of malignancy.Conclusions: When a composite of clinical findings suggest UTUC, performing urinary cytology may not be necessary. A negative result in this setting should not be used to rule out UTUC, as this is often discordant with final pathology. A positive cytology result may help solidify the diagnosis when other findings are less clear.
