Using multi-institutional database that contained patients who were treated with RNU, assessed according to ureteroscopic ablation. Disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific (CSS) estimated using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Multivariate Cox regression analyses performed determine independent predictors disease recurrence mortality RNU. The study included 1268 patients, 853 men 415 women, mean age 67.5 years (range 32–94 y) 52.8 months median follow-up A total 175 (13%) underwent RNU 1093 (87%) without 5-year DFS CSS rates 72% 77% in those a...
