Prognostic Significance of Preoperative Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase in Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC) is one of the uncommon malignancies lacking of prognostic indicators. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been demonstrated to correlate with clinical outcomes in human cancers. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic implication of the preoperative LDH in UUTUC. PATIENTS AND METHODS:A cohort of 100 UUTUC samples along with the preoperative LDH value was recruited from January 1990 to June 2011. The cutoff value was set at 245 u/L for the upper value of normal limitation. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the association of LDH with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS:Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that high level of LDH (> 245 u/L) was significantly associated with poor OS (P < .001) and DFS (P = .002). Multivariate Cox proportional analysis indicated LDH, controlled by vascular invasion, pathological stage, lymph node status, subsequent bladder tumor, tumor grade, tumor necrosis, architecture, and multifocality, was as an independent predictor of OS (hazard ratio, 3.181; 95% confidence interval, 1.223-8.276; P = .018) and DFS (hazard ratio, 3.041; 95% confidence interval, 1.247-7.417; P = .015). Stratified showed that elevated serum LDH was correlated with the worse OS in patients without lymph node metastasis (P = .002) and those at advanced pathological stage (P < .001). CONCLUSION:The preoperative LDH was an independent prognostic factor for patients with UUTUC and could be used as a risk factor to predict the tumor aggressiveness.

  • Role of Inflammation in the Perioperative Management of Urothelial Bladder Cancer With Squamous-Cell Features: Impact of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio on Outcomes and Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) might reflect an increased neutrophilic inflammatory response, and urothelial tumors with squamous-cell features (SqD) have been linked to inflammation.
