- Purpose: To present the occurrence of metastases and local recurrences in primary non-metastatic patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in a contemporary Swedish population-based cohort.Methods: Between 2005 and 2009, a total of 4527 patients were included in the prospective National Swedish Kidney Cancer Register accounting for nearly all RCC patients in Sweden. Among M0 patients, 472 (13 %) had no follow-up data registered within 5-year follow-up time and were excluded from the analysis.Results: In total, 939 (21 %) had distant metastases at presentation with a decrease from 23 to 18 % during the inclusion period. Of 3107 patients with follow-up data and with M0 disease, 623 (20 %) were diagnosed with a tumor recurrence during 5-year follow-up. Mean time to recurrence was 24 months (SD ± 20 months). Among these, 570 patients (92 %) were at primary diagnosis treated with radical nephrectomy, 23 patients (3.7 %) with partial nephrectomy and 12 patients (1.9 %) with minimally invasive treatments. The most frequent sites of metastases were lung (54 %), lymph nodes (22 %) and bone (20 %). The treatment of recurrence was in 50 % systemic treatments, while metastasectomy was performed in 17 % of the patients, out of which 68 % were with a curative intention.Conclusions: In this population-based study, 21 % of the patients had metastatic disease at presentation, with a decreasing trend over the study period. During 5-year follow-up, 20 % of the primary non-metastatic patients had recurrent disease. Of the patients with recurrence, half were given systemic oncological treatment and 17 % underwent metastasectomy.

- Purpose: A cost minimisation analysis compares the costs of different interventions’ to ascertain the least expensive over time. We compared different prostate targeted drug treatments with TURP to identify the optimal cost saving duration of a medical therapy for symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). Methods: The Evolution registry is a prospective, multicentre registry, conducted by the European Association of Urology Research Foundation (EAUrf) for 24 months in 5 European countries. Evolution was designed to register the management of symptomatic BPE in clinical practice settings in 5 European countries. Direct cost evaluation associated with prostate targeted medical therapies and TURP was also recorded and analysed. Results: In total, 1838 men were enrolled with 1246 evaluable at 24 months. Medical therapies were more cost saving than TURP for treatment durations ranging from 2.9 to 70.4 years. Cost saving depended on both medication class and individual country assessed. Daily tamsulosin monotherapy was more cost saving than TURP for ≤ 13.9 years in Germany compared to ≤ 32.7 years in Italy. Daily finasteride monotherapy was more cost saving for ≤ 5.9 years in France compared to ≤ 36.9 years in Spain. Combination therapy was more cost saving for ≤ 5.9 years for Italian patients versus ≤ 13.8 years in Germany. Conclusions: BPE medical management was more cost saving than TURP for different specific treatment durations. Information from this study will allow clinicians to convey medical and surgical costs over time, to both patients and payors alike, when considering BPE treatment.

Consultation on UTUC, Stockholm 2018 aspects of diagnosis of upper tract urothelial carcinoma

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: To summarize knowledge on upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC) regarding diagnostic procedures, risk factors and prognostic markers.Methods: A scoping review approach was applied to search literature in Pubmed, Web of Science, and Embase. Consensus was reached through discussions at Consultation on UTUC in Stockholm, September 2018.Results: Tumor stage and grade are the most important prognostic factors. CT urography (CTU) including corticomedullary phase is the preferred imaging modality. A clear tumor on CTU in combination with high-grade UTUC in urine cytology identifies high-risk UTUC, and in some cases indirect staging can be obtained. Bladder urine cytology has limited sensitivity, and in most cases ureterorenoscopy (URS) with in situ samples for cytology and histopathology are mandatory for exact diagnosis. Image-enhancing techniques, Image S1 and narrow-band imaging, may improve tumor detection at URS. Direct confocal laser endomicroscopy may help to define grade during URS. There is strong correlation between stage and grade, accordingly correct grading is crucial. The correlation is more pronounced using the 1999 WHO than the 2004 classification: however, the 1999 system risks greater interobserver variability. Using both systems is advisable. A number of tissue-based molecular markers have been studied. None has proven ready for use in clinical practice.Conclusions: Correct grading and staging of UTUC are mandatory for adequate treatment decisions. Optimal diagnostic workup should include CTU with corticomedullary phase, URS with in situ cytology and biopsies. Both WHO classification systems (1999 and 2004) should be used to decrease risk of undergrading or overtreatment.
