title: Secondary tumors of ureter.
abstract: Carcinoma metastatic to the ureter, representing hematogenous or lymphatic spread from a distant primary neoplasm, was diagnosed in 39 patients. Although the lesions are uncommon and usually represent late manifestations of malignant disease, earlier recognition and relief of urinary tract obstruction may allow for improvement in symptoms and survival.
