Abstract
BACKGROUND Lynch syndrome is one of the most common genetic predispositions to many cancers, most of which do not have a consensus recommendation for screening. AIMS We studied in our region the value of a systematized and coordinated follow-up program for patients with Lynch syndrome on all organs at risk. METHODS A multicenter prospective cohort evaluation was performed, from January 2016 to June 2021. RESULTS One hundred and seventy-eight patients were prospectively included (104 women (58%), median age 44 years, range 35-56 years) with a median follow-up of 4 years (range 2.5-5 years), corresponding to a total of 652 patient-years. The overall cancer incidence rate was 13.80 per 1000 patient-years. Seven of nine cancers (78%) were detected during the follow-up program, with all cancers identified at an early stage. The detection rate of adenomas during colonoscopies was 24%. CONCLUSION These preliminary data suggest that coordinated prospective follow-up of Lynch syndrome is capable of detecting the majority of incident cancers, particularly for locations not covered by an international follow-up recommendation. However, these results need to be confirmed by larger-scale studies.

European Association of Urology Guidelines on Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: 2023 Update. Eur Urol 2023; 84:S0302-2838(23)02652-0. [PMID: 36967359 DOI: 10.1016/j.eururo.2023.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 108] [Impact Index Per Article: 108.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT The European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines panel on upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) has updated the guidelines to aid clinicians in evidence-based management of UTUC. OBJECTIVE To provide an overview of the EAU guidelines on UTUC as an aid to clinicians. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION The recommendations provided in these guidelines are based on a review of the literature via a systematic search of the PubMed, Ovid, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. Data were searched using the following keywords: urinary tract cancer, urothelial carcinomas, renal pelvis, ureter, bladder cancer, chemotherapy, ureteroscopy, nephroureterectomy, neoplasm, (neo)adjuvant treatment, instillation, recurrence, risk factors, metastatic, immunotherapy, and survival. The results were assessed by a panel of experts. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Even though data are accruing, for many areas there is still insufficient high-level evidence to provide strong recommendations. Patient stratification on the basis of histology and clinical examination (including imaging) and assessment of patients at risk of Lynch syndrome will aid management. Kidney-sparing management should be offered as a primary treatment option to patients with low-risk UTUC and two functional kidneys. In particular, for patients with high-risk or metastatic UTUC, new treatment options have become available. In high-risk UTUC, platinum-based chemotherapy after radical nephroureterectomy, and adjuvant nivolumab for unfit or patients who decline chemotherapy, are options. For metastatic disease, gemcitabine/carboplatin chemotherapy is recommended as first-line treatment for cisplatin-ineligible patients. Patients with PD-1/PD-L1-positive tumours should be offered a checkpoint inhibitor (pembrolizumab or atezolizumab). CONCLUSIONS These guidelines contain information on the management of individual patients according to the current best evidence. Urologists should take into account the specific clinical characteristics of each patient when determining the optimal treatment regimen according to the risk stratification of these tumours. PATIENT SUMMARY Cancer of the upper urinary tract is rare, but because 60% of these tumours are invasive at diagnosis, timely and appropriate diagnosis is most important. A number of known risk factors exist.
