Is bladder preservation safe? The oncology outcomes of patients after 2-sided radical nephroureterectomies due to bilateral upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas.
Yao-Lin KaoWen-Horng YangChien-Hui OuPublished in: International urology and nephrology (2021)
Risk of cancer recurrence in the residual bladder is high, but does not affect survival outcomes. The highest UTUC stage plays a significant role in cancer-specific survival. With a careful patient surveillance, bladder preservation may be reasonable in patients with bilateral UTUC preparing for 2-sided RNUs.
