Upper Tract Tumors

Ureteral tumours showing a worse prognosis than renal pelvis tumours may be attributed to ureteral tumours more likely to have hydronephrosis and less likely to have haematuria - Abstract

Published on Thursday, 19 July 2012 12:06

PURPOSE: To demonstrate the relationships among tumour location, hydronephrosis, and tumour stage in patients with Upper Urinary Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UUT-UC).

Impact of tumour location and surgical approach on recurrence-free and cancer-specific survival analysis in patients with ureteric tumours - Abstract

Study Type - Therapy (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Pathological stage, lymph node metastasis and tumour grade have been established as prognostic factors for upper-tract urothelial carcinoma, but there are few studies to date assessing location within the ureter as a prognostic factor.

Published on Tuesday, 17 July 2012 10:41

INTRODUCTION: The standard treatment for upper urinary tract urothelial cell carcinoma (UUT-UCCs) is radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision.

Study Type - Therapy (cohort) Level of Evidence 2b What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Very little is known about the safety and potential oncological benefit of performing a retroperitoneal lymph node dissection at time of nephroureterectomy for upper tract tumours.

Impact of distal ureter management on oncologic outcomes following radical nephroureterectomy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma - Abstract

Published on Monday, 02 July 2012 09:34

BACKGROUND:There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal approach to the bladder cuff during radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).

Secondary bladder cancer after upper tract urothelial carcinoma in the US population - Abstract

Published on Wednesday, 27 June 2012 14:12

It is known that a certain percentage of patients treated for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) will go on to develop a secondary bladder cancer; however, the risk factors for developing a secondary bladder tumour have not been studied in a population-based setting.

Published on Monday, 25 June 2012 16:01

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the existence of predictive factors for concomitant, primary UUT-UCC and BC.

Transperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy for native upper tract urothelial carcinoma in renal transplant recipients - Abstract

Published on Monday, 18 June 2012 12:06

PURPOSE:To analyze the safety and clinical outcome of laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNUT) for native upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UC) in renal transplant (RT) recipients.

Role of lymphadenectomy in the management of urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and the upper urinary tract - Abstract

Published on Sunday, 10 June 2012 15:16

The role of lymphadenectomy has been controversial in urological malignancies.

Prognostic significance of non-muscle-invasive bladder tumor history in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma - Abstract

Published on Friday, 08 June 2012 14:57

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the prognostic factors for survival and disease recurrence in patients treated surgically for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), focusing especially on the impact of history of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
