Robotic vs Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy for Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Multicenter Propensity-Score Matched Pair tetrafecta Analysis (ROBUUST Collaborative Group)

Alessandro Veccia et al.

Summary: Robotic radical nephroureterectomy (RRNU) and laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LRNU) offer comparable outcomes. RRNU is associated with a higher rate of bladder cuff excision, lower overall complications, and shorter length of stay compared to LRNU. LRNU is a negative predictor for achieving tetrafecta outcome.

Treatment of acute kidney injury in cancer patients

Pauline Braet et al.

Summary: This article reviews the treatment strategies for acute kidney injury (AKI) in cancer patients, classifying it into patient-related, cancer-related, and treatment-related causes. The importance of assessing hydration status and avoiding nephrotoxic medications in patient-related causes, as well as the rapid recognition and specific treatment of cancer-related causes, are highlighted. The article also emphasizes the need for a comprehensive evaluation of risks and benefits before treatment to prevent treatment-related renal damage. Overall, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to reduce the incidence of AKI and improve patient outcomes in cancer patients.

Outcomes of Lymph Node Dissection in Nephroureterectomy in the Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: Analysis of the ROBUUST Registry

Kevin Hakimi et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of lymph node dissection in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma, finding that the procedure did not improve overall survival but was associated with improved recurrence-free survival in patients with clinical node negative disease and when yielding a higher number of lymph nodes.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prognostic Nomograms After UTUC Surgery

Maximilian Pallauf et al.

Summary: The systematic review identified and compared nomograms predicting oncologic outcomes in postoperative upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients. The nomograms showed moderate to good discrimination accuracy, but there was significant heterogeneity. Pathological tumor stage was the most reliable predictor. Further research is needed for external validation and assessment of clinical utility to make the nomograms more applicable.

Rising incidence rates and unaltered survival rates for primary upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma: a Dutch population-based study from 1993 to 2017

Thomas van Doeveren et al.

Summary: The age-standardized incidence of primary UTUC in the Netherlands increased by more than 50% between 1993 and 2017, but the relative survival of UTUC patients remained unchanged. Preventive measures, early detection, and more efficacious treatment methods are needed to improve outcomes of patients with UTUC.

Outcome of patients with advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Melissa Bersanelli et al.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies on advanced UTUC patients treated with ICI did not show statistically significant effects in reducing the risk of death compared to standard chemotherapy. Subgroup analyses from randomized clinical trials are needed to provide more conclusive evidence.
