Risk Factors Predictive of Contralateral Recurrence of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma Include Chronic Kidney Diseases and Postoperative Initiation of Dialysis
In conclusion, advanced CKD, a history of bladder cancer, and the initiation of new dialysis following surgery were identified as independent prognostic indicators for contralateral recurrence in patients with initial unilateral UTUC undergoing RNU. It is recommended that patients exhibiting these three adverse characteristics undergo rigorous monitoring of the contralateral upper urinary tract throughout the follow-up period.
