Demographics, Clinical Characteristics and Survival Outcomes of Primary Urinary Tract Malignant Melanoma Patients: A Population-Based Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4498.

Abstract
All primary urinary tract malignant melanoma (ureter vs. bladder vs. urethra) patients were identified from within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database 2000-2020. Kaplan-Maier plots depicted the overall survival (OS) rates. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression (MCR) models were fitted to test the differences in overall mortality (OM). In the overall cohort (n = 74), the median OS was 22 months. No statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences were recorded according to sex (female vs. male; p = 0.9) and treatment of the primary (endoscopic vs. surgical; p = 0.6). Conversely, clinically meaningful but not statistically significant (p ≥ 0.05) differences were recorded according to the patient's age at diagnosis (≤80 vs. ≥80 years old; p = 0.2), marital status (married 26 vs. unmarried 16 months; p = 0.2), and SEER stage (localized 31 vs. regional 14 months; p = 0.4), and the type of systemic therapy (exposed 31 vs. not exposed 20 months; p = 0.06). Finally, in univariable and MCR analyses, after adjustment for the SEER stage and type of systemic therapy, tumor origin within the bladder was associated with a three-fold higher OM (Hazard ratio: 3.00; p = 0.004), compared to tumor origin within the urethra. In conclusion, primary urinary tract malignant melanoma patients have poor survival. Specifically, tumor origin within the bladder independently predicted a higher OM, even after adjustment for the SEER stage and systemic therapy status.
