Menée dans l'Etat de Californie sur la période 1988-2019, cette étude analyse l'association entre des facteurs sociodémographiques et la survie chez des patients atteints d'un cancer de l'ouraque
Urachal cancer is a rare genitourinary malignant neoplasm that arises from the remnant of the embryological structure between the bladder and allantois. It has been considered an extremely aggressive neoplasm, with a median overall survival (OS) ranging between 12 and 24 months among patients with locally advanced and metastatic disease. Surgery is the preferred treatment for localized and regional disease, and chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy are recommended for metastatic disease. We assessed the sociodemographic characteristics of patients with urachal cancer, treatments, and the association of patient characteristics with survival.
