The impact of radical surgery for urothelial carcinoma is significant on patient's quality of life. Organ-sparing surgery (OSS) can provide comparable oncological outcomes and with improved quality of life.
Primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) is rare, accounting for <1% of genitourinary malignancies. Current knowledge regarding is founded upon tertiary care centers reporting their experiences. We aim to identify factors predictive of outcomes using a nationwide registry database.
Primary urethral carcinoma (PUC) is rare, and standard treatment recommendations are lacking. We examined the variation in treatments and survival outcomes of female PUC at a single, tertiary referral cancer center.
