Does age impact clinical outcomes of radical nephroureterectomy in the elderly?-results from a multicenter retrospective study.
Background: Few studies have addressed the efficacy of nephroureterectomy for managing upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in very elderly patients (those aged 85 years and older). We aimed to elucidate the association between age and clinical outcomes in patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 847 patients who underwent nephroureterectomy for UTUC. These patients were classified into four age brackets: young (≤64 years, n=177), intermediate (65-74 years, n=300), elderly (75-84 years, n=312), and very elderly (≥85 years, n=58). We applied logistic regression models to ascertain predictors of postoperative complications. Cox's proportional hazards models were used to evaluate key prognostic factors affecting non-urothelial tract recurrence-free survival (NUTRFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS).
Results: In all, 56 patients reported postoperative complications. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≥2 was identified as a significant predictor for postoperative complications whereas age did not show a noteworthy correlation. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses indicated that very elderly patients had notably poorer OS than younger groups. Nevertheless, the differences in NUTRFS and CSS across the age brackets were not statistically significant. In multivariable analyses, very elderly age was a substantial independent determinant of OS but not NUTRFS or CSS.
Conclusions: The therapeutic benefits of surgical procedures are relatively consistent across age groups. This underscores the potential of considering surgical treatment for UTUC in patients aged 85 and above, provided they are deemed fit to withstand the surgical rigors and associated invasiveness.
