Analysis of Conservative Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

A survey of literature on UTUC shows a mix set of results on efficacy and outcome of conservative treatment. There are no standardized templates for ureteroscopic or percutaneous resection techniques nor the adjuvant treatment options. The assumptions of what institutes a diagnosis or success after treatment also remain unclear. The conservative management of UTUC is a work in progress requiring a multicenter prospective evaluation to provide more clear parameters to follow.
