Korean Prospective Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma Cohort
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Peripheral blood collection for ctDNA analysis: Peripheral blood samples (20-30 mL) will be collected prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy initiation and once between 1-6 months after surgery for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis. No investigational drug or device is administered. All oncologic treatments are conducted according to standard clinical practice.
Study summary
This is a single-center, prospective, non-interventional observational cohort study designed to establish a structured recurrence monitoring platform in Korean patients with high-grade non-metastatic upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
Eligible adult patients scheduled to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical nephroureterectomy will undergo circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sampling prior to chemotherapy initiation and once between 1-6 months after surgery.
Clinical, imaging, pathological, and longitudinal follow-up data will be prospectively collected to enable long-term monitoring of recurrence and survival outcomes.
The primary objective is to establish a prospective cohort integrating clinical and molecular data to support future translational research and recurrence prediction modeling in UTUC.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Recurrence-free survival (RFS) — From date of radical nephroureterectomy to first documented recurrence or last follow-up (up to 5 years)
Recurrence is defined as radiographic and/or pathologic evidence of local recurrence, regional nodal recurrence, distant metastasis, or intravesical recurrence documented during routine follow-up.
