AI Article Synopsis

  • Urothelial cancer can happen in different parts of the urinary system, but it's mostly found in the bladder.
  • Researchers study bladder cancer more because it's more common, but they wonder if what they learn can help with cancer in the upper urinary tract.
  • This review looks at the care practices for bladder cancer and how they might work for cancers in the upper urinary tract.

Article Abstract

Even though urothelial cancer may occur anywhere in the urinary tract, it is most commonly found in the urinary bladder. Due to its higher incidence, this disease is studied in the bladder much more frequently than in the upper urinary tract. The question that arises is, to what extent can concepts and treatment paradigms derived from lower tract disease be applied to urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract? This review aims at providing an overview of established care concepts in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and applicability of these findings to tumors of the upper urinary tract.
