DOIAbstract
Objectives To evaluate the prognostic value of the Bajorin criteria in a multi-institutional cohort of patients with disease recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). To investigate whether clinical, pathological and/or biological factors at time of disease recurrence are also associated with cancer-specific outcomes in these patients. Patients and Methods We identified 242 patients with disease recurrence after RNU for UTUC from 11 centres. With regard to the Bajorin criteria, patients were categorized into three groups based on two risk factors: Karnofsky performance status <80% and the presence of visceral metastasis. Assessed variables included pathological characteristics, time to di...
