Treatment of upper urothelial cell carcinoma
Abstract
The gold standard for management of UTUC is radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). However, a large number of patients with UTUC have poor comorbidity and may experience serious complications after RNU. Thus, nephron-sparing treatment has been recently attempted in cases of low risk UTUC, especially in patients with low renal function and poor comorbidity.
