This study evaluated ureteroscopic biopsy and computed tomography urography for their diagnostic ability to accurately predict final pathological tumor stage and grade in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Clinical understaging/undergrading and upstaging to muscle-invasive disease occurred in a high proportion of UTUC patients. These findings should be considered when utilizing preoperative, risk-adapted strategies.Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the concordance in tumor stage and grade between ureteroscopic (URS) biopsy and radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Patients and Methods: Records of 1,214 UTUC patients who had undergone URS biopsy followed by RNU were included. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors contributing o the pathological upstaging. Results: The concordance between URS biopsy-based clinical and RNU pathological staging was 34.5%. Clinical understaging occurred in 59.5% patients. Upstaging to muscle-invasive disease occurred in 240 (41.7%) of 575 patients diagnosed with
