*Reference group; +HR for cancer specific mortality, adjusted for race, prior surgery and radiotherapy, decade of diagnosis, age at diagnosis, gender and stage. The table
above describes the survival of patients with UUT malignancies across different histologies. The upper part demonstrates the outcome of the Cox Proportional Hazard
model, adjusted for race, prior surgery and radiotherapy, decade of diagnosis, age at diagnosis, gender and stage. Patients with transitional cell histology were considered
the reference group. The second part shows the cancer specifc survival for all stages and for patients with stage IV only, respectively. The cancer specific survival for
patients with stage IV disease and papillary histology could, secondary to a paucity of cases not be calculated. |
