ABSTRACT
Treatment and prognosis • TCC of the renal pelvis and ureter is treated by radical nephro-
ureterectomy if the tumour is poorly differentiated or has invaded muscle. Segmental resection and end-to-end anasto mosis is suitable for well-differentiated and superficial tumours. Urethroscopic laser therapy may be used to treat small tu mours. The median survival is 1 year for invasive tumours and 7 years for non-invasive tumours.
