We attempted to validate the prognostic utility of survivin using a large multi-institutional cohort.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Survivin expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in tumor tissue from 732 patients with unilateral, sporadic UTUC treated with radical nephroureterectomy between 1990 and 2008 at 7 centers. Survivin expression was considered altered when at least 10% of the tumor cells stained positive. Associations of altered survivin expression with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression models.RESULTS: Altered survivin expression was observed in 288 (39.3%) tumors and was associated with more advanced pathological tumor stages (P<0.001), lymph node metastases (P<0.001), lymphovascular invasion (P<0.001), tumor necrosis (P = 0.027), and tumor architecture (P<0.001). Median follow-up was 35 (16-64) months. There were 191 (25.4%) patients who experienced disease recurrence, and 165 patients (21.9%) died of the disease. In the univariable analysis, altered survivin expression was significantly associated with worse RFS and CSS (each P<0.001); however, altered survivin expression did not achieve independent predictive status on multivariable models (P = 0.24 and P = 0.53). Similarly, survivin was not independently associated with outcomes in subgroup analyses, including patients with high-grade tumors.CONCLUSIONS: In UTUC, altered survivin expression is associated with worse clinicopathological features and worse RFS and CSS.
