PURPOSE: To investigate whether ureteral stent drainage (USD) increases the risk of intravesical recurrence in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU).
METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted involving 2,756 upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients treated with RNU between 2000 and 2022, of whom 77 had a history of USD. The primary endpoint was to assess the association between USD and post-RNU bladder recurrence-free survival (BRFS). A 1:3 propensity score-matching analysis was performed to compare patients with and without a history of USD. Kaplan-Meier analyses, along with univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard modeling, were employed to compare BRFS, overall survival, cancer-specific survival, and contralateral recurrence-free survival.
RESULTS: Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a significant difference in BRFS between patients with and without a history of USD in the entire cohort (P = 0.022). However, in the matched cohort, no significant difference in BRFS was observed. Both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that prior ureteroscopy with biopsy was associated with intravesical recurrence, but USD history did not increase the risk of bladder recurrence, regardless of whether ureteroscopy was performed. Further analysis demonstrated that preoperative USD significantly improved pre-RNU renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3-5.
CONCLUSION: The use of USD does not increase the risk of intravesical recurrence and has minimal impact on oncologic outcomes. Additionally, preoperative USD improves renal function, thereby expanding neoadjuvant treatment options for patients with compromised kidney function.
