Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the long-term outcomes of conservative treatment for upper urinary tract carcinoma (UUTC) focusing on tumor recurrence and kidney preservation among 65 patients over a span of nearly 27 years.
- Patients underwent various treatment methods, including endoscopic procedures and open surgery, with some receiving chemotherapy; follow-up revealed differing stages of tumor and varying outcomes regarding kidney preservation and survival rates.
- Findings indicated a 78.5% success rate in preserving kidneys, a 40% tumor recurrence rate, and highlighted that conservative management could serve as a viable alternative to radical nephroureterectomy in select patients.
