Cure rate of low malignant potential uroepithelial tumors

Low malignant potential uroepithelial tumors are usually incurable, but some studies claim that the clinical cure rate can be as high as 70% to 80%, with a high likelihood of recurrence. Low malignant potential uroepithelial tumors are usually referred to as papillary uroepithelial neoplasms of low malignant potential (PUNLMP) of the bladder.The WHO (2004) / ISUP classification system classifies non-invasive papillary migratory cell tumors into four grades: papillary, PUNLMP, low malignant papillary uroepithelial neoplasms, and high malignant papillary uroepithelial neoplasms. If only low malignant potential uroepithelial tumors are detected at present, through timely treatment, most of the patients have a good prognosis, and the clinical cure rate is as high as about 70%~80%. However, low malignant potential uroepithelial tumors cannot be cured and there is a risk of tumor recurrence. It has been claimed that most of PUNLMP have good clinical regression, and about 14% of patients will have tumor recurrence after surgery, of which about 50% will have pathological progression, mostly to low-grade non-invasive papillary uroepithelial carcinoma. At present, low-grade premalignant uroepithelial tumors should be detected as soon as possible to regular hospitals for treatment, surgical treatment, and intravesical instillation treatment according to the situation.
