| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of differences between the sexes on the prognosis of urothelial carcinoma after adjusting for other factors by using propensity score matching. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Between 2000 and 2011, 678 consecutive patients who had undergone radical cystectomy or radical nephroureterectomy for urothelial carcinoma were enrolled in this study. Propensity score methodology was used to adjust for selection bias with 10 and 12 perioperative variables for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). By a 2:1 male-to-female patient matching ratio, we selected 38 and 66 pairs of patients with UCB and UTUC. RESULTS: The number of male patients was 573 (84.5%), and there were 105 female patients (15.5%). The mean follow-up was 55.5 ± 38.4 months. There were no significant differences in the perioperative variables of age, pathologic T (pT) stage, grade, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and concomitant carcinoma in situ (CIS) between the sexes. Neither cancer-specific survival (CSS) or overall survival (OS) was associated with sex in a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. In propensity score matching analysis, female sex was not an independent risk factor for CSS and OS in urothelial carcinoma. In patients with UCB, body mass index (BMI) and pT stage were independently associated with CCS. For the patients with UTUC, age, pT stage, LVI, adjuvant chemotherapy, bladder cuffing, and location were significantly correlated. CONCLUSION: After adjusting for other risk factors with propensity score matching, female sex may not be an independent risk factor in prognosis for urothelial carcinoma (UC). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
