1 Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: A Focus on Alternatives and Adjuvants to the Mantra Heal With Steel Miles Mannas PGY3 University of British Columbia Department of Urology Objectives Introduction Diagnostics Nephron Sparing Techniques Upper Tract Chemotherapy Radical Nephroureterectomy Lymphadenectomy Chemotherapy And Risk Stratification 1

2 Brief Introduction 5-10% of Urothelial Carcinoma occurs in upper tract (UT) UT recurrence in contralateral kidney 2-6% Classic carcinogens: tobacco, work related aromatic hydrocarbons, analgesia abuse, cyclophosphamide etc Average duration of carcinogen exposure 7 years with up to 20 year latency Mixed variant histology in up to 20% of cases Hematuria is the most common presentation, with flank pain much less common Colin et al. BJUI Bladder Versus Upper Tract 2:1 M:F, while bladder is 4:1 Gender is NOT associated with CSM Likely similar yet different tumourigenesis Aristolochic acid and Blackfoot disease Conditions or anatomy that would increase dwell time of toxins are NOT RF for UTUC Lynch Syndrome Type II Prevalence of specific mutations differs between UT and UCB UTUC vs UCB for FGFR3, HRAS, CDKN2B 36.8% and 21.6% respectively UTUC vs UCB for TP53, ARID1A 24.6% and 57.8% respectively More frequent promoter methylation of tumour suppressors in UTUC, 94% vs 76% 10-20% hereditary background Inherent anatomic difficulty with staging Assessment through resection and examination; ~20-32% upstaging at surgery for ureteric lesions 60% UTUC invasive at diagnosis vs 15-25% UCB Green et al. J Urol Mandalapu et al. World J Urol Roupret et al. Eurol Urol Szarvas et al. Trans Androl and Uro

3 Aristolocholic Acid Chinese herb induced nephropathy Aristolachia fangchi Endemic to Balkens, Balken nephropathy D-aristoloctam causes specific mutation in p53 gene; specific mutation rare in unexposed patients Bilateral cases and lack of male predominance One case series showed ~46% of patients with ESRD due to Aristolachia fangchi developed UTUC Colin et al. BJUI Lynch Syndrome Type II associated with CRC and extra-colonic cancers UTUC 3 rd most common tumor at 5-6% RR of developing varies from AD transmission, associated with mutation in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes 7x more common with MSH2 then MSH1 Microsatellite Instability Loss of function of MMR genes Replication errors and frame shifts High levels in UTUC ~46% High MSI has improved prognosis with T2-3N0M0, compared to low MSI Colin et al. Transl Androl Urol Li et al. Curr Urol Rep

4 Investigations Roupret et al. Euro UroL Diagnostics Cytology +ve, bladder and prostate negative is suggestive Less sensitive for UTUC, most sensitive in renal pelvis and with high grade Overall PPV 47% and NPV 58% Difficult scenario is positive ureteral wash in context of bladder cytology positive Retrograde Pyelogram Sensitivity of 0.97, specificity of 0.93, a PPV of 0.79 and NPV of 0.99 Ureteroscopy Classically ~20% non-diagnostic, improving with new tech Upstaging in 28-32% of patients re-biopsied and ~45% after Radical Nephroureterectomy (RNU) Cowan et al. BJU international Roupret et al. Eurouro Cutress et al. BJUI Al-Qahtani et al. Urol Int

5 Diagnostic Biopsy Diagnostic - BIGopsy Improved diagnostic rates compared to classic biopsy tools Limits Limited flow Limited visibility Decreased handling and flexibility Cost Al-Qahtani et al. Urol Int

6 Diagnostic - BIGopsy Radiologic Diagnostics CT Urography Remains gold standard PPV 76-90% and NPV 67-80% Can help predict grade and stage Greater degree of spiculation/irregularity correlates with HG or T2, high interobserver variability Endoluminal US Ureteroscopy with Ultrasound to assess for invasion PPV 100%, NPV 66.7% Difficult with bulky tumours if system non-distended Golan et al. BMC Urology Mammen et al. J Comput Assist Tomogr Roupret et al. Eurouro Matin et al. J Ultrasound Med

7 Radiologic Diagnostics - MR Lower ADC values more likely malignant and higher grade cancers ADC values did not allow discrimination of extramuscular extension DWI can help differentiate T stage (differentiating T2, T3a and T3b) Yoshida et al. American Journal of Roentgenology Roy et al. American Journal of Roentgenology Akita et al. American Journal of Roentgenology High resolution imaging analogous to US Uses backscattered light to produce cross-sectional imaging, instead of sound Akin to confocal microscopy URS, Biopsy è RNU or Segmental ureterectomy 26 patients with inclusion criteria; more advanced UTUC Non-diagnostic for CIS Grade: Sens 87%, Spec 90% Stage: Sens 100%, Spec 92% Stage Grade Bus et al. J Urol

8 Nephron Sparing Surgery Preferred approach for low risk disease Must be able to ablate all tumour NOT compromising oncologic outcomes Equal OS and CSS 10 yr recurrence free 21% at 10yrs when pooled Renal unit survival: G1 96%, G2 71% and G3 20%; 83% for all grades combined Requires close follow-up Cutress et al. J Urol Roupret et al. Eur Urol Yakoubi et al. EJSO Treatment - Endoscopic Ablation Coagulation Bugbee Laser Ablation/Coagulation Holmium:YAG Neodynium:YAG Thulium:YAG Percutaneous Laser Coagulation: Monopolar or Bipolar cautery 8

9 Treatment - Lasers Emilliani et al. World J Urol Holmium: YAG The Workhorse in Urology Vaporization of water creates steam bubble used to separate tissue layers by tearing them apart (pulsed) Appropriate tissue penetration ~400μm Normal renal pelvis urothelium 1000μm deep Most familiar and widely used for many purposes Kramer et al. World J Urol Mitterberger et al. Ultraschall Med

10 Neodymium: YAG Neodymium:YAG Coagulative effect Full trans-mural tissue ablation Beamed tissue becomes fluffy, whitish pale and sloughs off over several days Multiple studies have used this laser to ablate bulk of tumor before using Holmium:YAG to resect residual tumor Possible increased risk of ureteric strictures with coagulation in ureter Concern regarding depth of penetration μm Bowel injury with UCB treatment Kramer et al. World J Urol Mugiya et al. Int J Urol Tada et al. BJUI Thulium: YAG New kid on the block Initial experience for treatment of BPH and Urothelial Ca within bladder. Main effects through water. Continuous output allows smooth incision and vaporization with excellent hemostasis μm depth of penetration Non-inferior recurrence free survival to Holmium:YAG Compared to Holmium:yag, may have better performance score in fiber-tip stability, precision, reducing bleeding and mucousal perforation reduction Some concern regarding temperature, both In-vitro and Invivo studies show temperature increases not physiologically harmful Defidio et al. Arch Ital Urol Androl Kallidonis et al. Journal of Endourology Kramer et al. World J Urol

11 Treatment - Percutaneous Indicated for low grade Urothelial carcinoma that can be ineffectively treated with Ureteroscopy alone, usually due to tumour volume, location, or renal anatomy May also be an option for a solitary kidney where alternative would usually be RNU è dialysis Depth of effect with monopolar cautery 300um and bipolar cautery 160um Cutress et al 27% complication rate 17% transfusion, 2% AKI requiring dialysis, 1% emergency RNU or Embolization Seeding tract ~0.3%, risk factor?high grade Cutress et al.

34 Summary Accurate staging is becoming ever more important in UTUC New staging and NSS techniques developing Prognostic modalities pre and post-op should be used to shape treatment NSS vs MIS vs open Template LND, suspicion of pt>2 Neoadjuvant vs adjuvant chemotherapy Intra-operative intravesical therapy at time of RNU, before bladder cuff management, has been shown safe and likely has highest efficacy Upper tract delivery of MMC should be considered more frequently Future Questions Should patient s with Lynch Syndrome be screened for UTUC? Best diagnostic test(s) with problem regarding accurate staging? Most effective nephron sparing surgical techniques +/- adjuvant upper tract chemotherapy? Studies investigating best intravesical agent, including timing? Role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, template LND, and adjuvant chemotherapy? 34
