Non-urothelial recurrence is associated with worse prognosis and survival, with ∼80% of patients dying from disease within 2 years. We evaluated the timing and pattern of recurrences after RNU as well as the association of cancer specific survival (CSS) and location of recurrence. METHODS: We identified patients with UTUC who underwent RNU between 01/2000-02/2021 from seven institutions. We categorized recurrences based on site and used competing risk regression models with each site as the main outcome (vs. all other recurrence sites as the competing risk). Cox proportional hazards regression model with time from recurrence to death from disease was created to evaluate the association between CSS and location of recurrence, adjusted for time from surgery to recurrence. A separate model including an indicator for multiple sites was used to assess its association with CSS, after adjusting only for the sites found to be significant in the previous model. RESULTS: 2177 patients were included, among whom 454 developed non-urothelial recurrence (median follow up among survivors was 34 (IQR 11, 70) months). The cumulative incidence of recurrence per site is seen in Figure 1. Risk of CSS based on location of recurrence (p<0.001) is seen in Table 1. Better rates of CSS were seen in lung and lymph node (LN) metastasis (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.37, 0.97, p=0.038; HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.41, 1.02, p=0.063, respectively). Recurrence to multiple concurrent non-urothelial sites was associated with worse rates of CSS (HR 1.68, 95% CI 1.30, 2.17, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Recurrences mostly occurred within the first 2 years located in the LN or lung which portended the most favorable CSS. These data can be used to inform surveillance strategies after RNU.
