Does Xylinas’ nomogram accurately predict intravesical recurrence risk after radical nephroureterectomy for primary upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma when applied to Asian populations?

To validate a prognostic nomogram (Xylinas’ nomogram) for intravesical recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy for primary upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients of Asian descent.

Clinicopathological and survival data from 243 primary urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients who underwent radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision between January 2004 and May 2017 were collated.
