Systemic recurrence (SR) following RNU carries a dismal prognosis. We sought to determine factors that predict higher risk of SR following NAC and RNU. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated data from a multi-center database of UTUC patients who received cisplatin-based NAC followed by RNU. Final pathology was dichotomized into less than pT2 versus pT2 or more. SR was defined as any recurrence outside the urinary tract. Univariable (UV) and multivariable (MV) logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with SR. Factors identified on UV analysis as significant for recurrence were grouped into 3 groups (0, 1-2, 3 risk factors) and evaluated for recurrence-free survival using the Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test. RESULTS: 110 patients received cisplatin-based NAC prior to RNU between 2004 and 2018. Median age was 67.0 years [IQR=61-73.3], 59 (53.6%) and 51 (46.4%) patients received MVAC and GC, respectively. Final pathological stage was <T2 in 59 (53.6%) patients and ≥T2 in 51 (46.4) patients. Overall 23.6% (26/110) had SR, 24 of those were within 19 months. On UV analysis, final specimen variables such as pT2 or more, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), nodal involvement, and tumor size were all associated with higher SR. MV model including the identified risk factors had an area under the curve of 0.86 (95% CI [0.77-0.95]; p<0.001) suggesting high predictive ability, with pT≥2 OR=5.3 (95% CI 1.24-22.7; p=0.024). Stratifying according to number of risk factors, the 2-year recurrence-free survival was 97.4%, 72.7%, and 26.7% for 0, 1-2 and, 3 risk factors respectively (log-rank <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We created a predictive model for SR following NAC and RNU for UTUC to direct decision-making after surgery. A pathology of muscle invasive UTUC, when combined with LVI and nodal involvement, can predict the risk of SR with high accuracy.
