The Conditional Survival with Time of Intravesical Recurrence of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

Conditional survival analysis revealed that the probability of intravesical recurrence-free survival increased with time in patients with localized Ta-3N0M0 upper tract urothelial carcinoma after radical nephroureterectomy. Patients with T2 or lower T stage who undergo laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy may be recommended for longer followup to detect subsequent intravesical recurrence.
