Abstract Summary
Study of 12,300 patients reveals tumor location significantly impacts survival in upper urinary tract cancer. Renal pelvis tumors showed better outcomes than kidney tumors. Notably, socioeconomic factorsโincome and insurance statusโemerged as powerful predictors of survival, alongside traditional clinical factors like tumor stage and comorbidities, highlighting critical healthcare disparities.
