N2 - PURPOSE: The prognostic significance of renal pelvis vs ureteral upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma tumor location is controversial. We assessed the prognostic significance of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma tumor location in a large, population based data set. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our analyses relied on 2,824 patients treated with nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma within 9 SEER registries between 1988 and 2004. Univariable and multivariable models tested the effect of tumor location on cancer specific mortality rates. Covariates consisted of age, race, SEER registry, gender, type of surgery (nephroureterectomy with vs without bladder cuff removal), pT stage, pN stage, grade and year of surgery. RESULTS: Relative to ureteral tumors renal pelvis tumors were of higher stage (T3/T4 disease 38.4% vs 57.9%, p
