UPPER URINARY TRACT TUMORS: 23-YEAR EXPERIENCE OF A CLINIC
https://doi.org/10.17650/1726-9776-2011-7-2-39-45
Abstract
The only factor that demonstrates its independent influence on overall survival in our series of observations is surgical radicality (p < 0.0001). This conclusion underlines the importance of the quality of surgical treatment for the prognosis of the disease. Surgical access and scope should be individually determined by the site, sizes, and hypothetical pathomorphological characteristics of a tumor. Correct choice of surgical tactics serves as a pledge to completely remove all afflicted tissues. The efficiency of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy for pelvic and ureteral tumors has not been proven. The additional treatment has failed to affect survival in this study.
