Study of People with Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Having Surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is for people diagnosed with a rare type of cancer in the upper urinary tract (UTUC). Researchers hope to learn more about this condition and find better ways to treat it.
This study follows people with kidney cancer who are scheduled for surgery to remove their tumor. It aims to learn more about the disease and how it behaves over time.
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 study looks at what happens in and around the time of surgery for upper tract urothelial cancer. It may help doctors better understand how the disease and the body respond to treatment.
This study looks at whether removing nearby lymph nodes during standard kidney/ureter removal surgery helps people with upper tract urothelial carcinoma. You will be placed into one of two groups – one gets the usual surgery alone, the other gets surgery plus lymph node removal.
This trial compares removing the kidney and ureter alone versus also removing nearby lymph nodes for high-risk upper tract urothelial cancer. It aims to see if the extra step helps improve outcomes.
