The pathologic material and medical records of 76 patients with primary upper urinary tract carcinomas were reviewed to identify the role of grade and stage in predicting survival: to determine any differences in survival between ureteral and renal pelvic carcinoma; to understand the role of local t
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Contralateral, metachronous upper urinary tract (UUT) tumors after primary transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the UUT are reported rarely, and to the authors' knowledge the risk factors have not been determined to date. In addition, few reports have described the charac
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The objective of the current study was to identify variables that were predictive of cancerβspecific survival in patients with nonmetastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract (UUTβTCC). ## METHODS. Clinical and pathologic data from 269 patients who
Traditionally transitional cell tumors of the upper urinary tract are treated by nephroureterectomy. In circumstances where low functional renal reserve necessitates renal parenchymal preservation, endoscopic or percutaneous treatment may be an option for low grade and stage lesions. In this article
