Nomogram of Jeldres et al for Predicting Survival for a Patient with an Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

Description

Jeldres et al developed a nomogram for predicting survival for a patient with an upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma. This can help to identify a patient who may benefit from more aggressive or novel therapy. The authors are from the University of Montreal, Vita-Salute San Raffaele (Milan), Martini Clinic (Hamburg), and Weill Cornell Medical Center (New York City).

Parameters:

(1) age in years

(2) pathologic T stage

(3) pathologic N stage

(4) histologic grade

points for age =

= MIN(100, (1.25 * (age in years)) - 25)

Parameter	Finding	Points
pathologic T stage	T1	0
	T2	21.9
	T3	54.7
	T4	67.1
pathologic N stage	pN0 (none)	0
	pN1 or higher (any)	5.3
	pNx (unknown)	50
histologic grade	G1 (well-differentiated)	0
	G2	16
	G3	32
	G4	48

total score =

= SUM(points for all 4 parameters)

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 0

• maximum score: 264

• The higher the score the worse the prognosis.

Points	Probability of 5-Year Cancer Specific Mortality
< 18.6	> 98%
18.6 to 132	(-0.001418 * ((points)^2)) + (0.0579 * (points)) + 97.23
132 to 238	(-0.001302 * ((points)^2)) - (0.2032 * (points)) + 130.6
> 238	< 10%
