Retroperitoneoscopic proximal ureter resection and ureteroureterostomy as an alternative management for upper tract urothelial carcinoma: A case report.

Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with bladder cuff removal is the treatment of choice for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Partial ureterectomy (PU) with ureteroureterostomy in this case has shown a good result. We herein report an elderly woman with adenocarcinoma colon complaining gross intermittent hematuria and solid ureteral mass on NCCT.

Clinical Factors Predictive of Metastases from Renal Cell Carcinomas.

Background: Lymph node and distant metastases are known as the prognostic factor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Clinical parameters are needed to predict metastases preoperatively. The aim of this study was to assess clinical predictive factors for lymph node and distant metastases.
