[Urotheliomas of the upper excretory tract. Analysis and results after 10 years].
The recent introduction of endourology and accumulated experience has led to the development of concepts regarding the effective role of conservative surgical treatment in cancer of the upper urinary tract. The Authors report their experience in 59 patients with cancer of the upper urinary tract; 36 (61.2%) underwent radical surgery whereas 23 (38.9%) were treated using conservative surgical therapy. The results of this retrospective study confirm the role of conservative surgical therapy in cases at an initial stage of cancer development, together with an attentive endourological follow-up.
