宮崎泌尿器癌データベース（MUCD）を用いた尿路上皮癌患者の予後に関する後ろ向きコホート研究

Abstract

Miyazaki Urological Cancer Database (MUCD) is a web-based database containing background, treatment, and prognosis of patients with prostate, renal, and urothelial cancers diagnosed in Miyazaki. We entered information on patients diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma from 2014 to 2018 at 4 of the 17 facilities that diagnose urothelial carcinoma in Miyazaki Prefecture. We analyzed the overall survival for bladder cancer and upper urinary tract cancer, and examined its correlation with the presence of symptoms, urine cytology, and clinical TNM classification. There were 487 patients with urothelial carcinoma, comprising 372 (76%) with bladder cancer and 115 (24%) with upper tract urinary cancer. In the bladder cancer group, 301 (81%) patients had symptomatic disease and 119 (32%) had positive urine cytology. The stage according to the TNM classification was Ta-1N0, T2-4N0, N1-2M0 and M1 in 248 (67%), 94 (26%), 19 (5%) and 11 (3%) patients, respectively. In the upper urinary tract cancers group, 89 (76%) had symptomatic disease and 41 (36%) had positive urine cytology. The stage according to the TNM classification was Ta-1N0, T2-4N0, N1-2M0 and M1 in 45 (39%), 37 (32%), 11 (10%) and 22 (19%) patients, respectively. The 3-year survival rates for bladder and upper urinary tract cancer were 83.4% and 67.8%, respectively. TNM classification (≤T1 vs ≥T2≥) was significantly associated with overall survival (bladder cancer : HR＝7.07, 95% CI＝3.13-16.0, p＜0.0001 ; upper tract urinary cancer : HR＝6.33, 95% CI＝2.13-18.8, p＝0.0009). The prognosis of patients with urothelial carcinoma diagnosed in multiple institutions could be evaluated using MUCD. The clinical T stage was significantly associated with overall survival in patients with bladder cancer and patients with upper urinary tract cancer.
