“…Waldert et al have reported delayed NU by >3 months is associated with worse pathologic stage and lymph node metastases [27] . Another study reported that delay of >4 months, compared to 1 month, was associated with significantly worse overall survival [28] . Alternative approaches include repeat endoscopic ablation or partial ureterectomy when anatomically feasible.…”

“…As an example, Matin et al reported a 14% pCR rate in 43 patients who received NAC. Similarly, in the NCDB we found pCR to be 17.2%; thus, if only considering pCR as a surrogate of OS when counselling patients, patients might opt for immediate surgery, rather than delay care .…”

“…Also, studies on surgical waiting time are likely to have obvious selection bias because physicians tend to be good at identifying who needs surgery sooner. 15,16 There was evidence that higher risk patients underwent radical prostatectomy earlier in our study. Although we tried to minimize the bias by excluding patients with SDTs of 30 days or less and adjusting many variables in our study, confounding factors not included in NCDB still exist, and the causes of delay are unknown.…”
