Papers・Description | OBJECTIVE:There has been no clear evidence supporting similar chemo-responses for upper and lower urothelial carcinomas.METHODS:We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study to analyze urothelial carcinoma patients who underwent systemic chemotherapy at 17 centers from 2004 to 2010. A total of 298 patients with either urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (N = 151) or upper tract urothelial carcinoma (N = 147) were included. Differences in tumor location (urothelial carcinoma of the bladder vs. upper trMETHODS:act urothelial carcinoma) were evaluated in relation to the patient backgrounds and clinical responses to systemic chemotherapy. |
