title: Role of chemotherapy in upper urinary tract urothelial cell cancers.
abstract: Urothelial cancers of the upper urinary tract are uncommon and often treated in a similar fashion to lower urinary tract urothelial malignancies. Currently, there are no clear guidelines on the use of systemic chemotherapy for upper urinary tract urothelial cancers either in the perioperative setting or in cases of advanced disease. The aim of this article is to review the key studies in upper urinary tract cancers to help develop an understanding about the optimal management and suggest areas for future research.
