Proper diagnostics with correct grading of UTUC are necessary for appropriate treatment decisions. The diagnostics should include CTU with corticomedullary phase, urine or bladder cytology, URS with focal barbotage cytology, and biopsies when needed for proper diagnosis and risk stratification. Regular, long-term follow-ups are fundamental, due to the high rate of recurrence and risk of progression.
