This study watches people with upper tract urothelial cancer who are having surgery to remove the kidney and ureter. It aims to collect information to better understand the disease and improve future care.
This study looks at how well patients do when they have kidney-sparing treatment (instead of complete kidney removal) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. It helps doctors understand which patients can safely avoid losing their kidney.
This trial is testing a system that helps doctors choose the best additional treatment for people with advanced upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) after their surgery. It focuses on patients whose cancer has spread into the muscle layer or beyond, or to nearby lymph nodes.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound probe inserted into the urinary tract can better show how deep the cancer has grown, helping doctors decide on the right surgery. It may improve accuracy in treatment planning.
