U.S., April 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07504939) titled 'Multimodal Kidney-Sparing Strategy for High-Risk Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma' on March 08.
Brief Summary: UTUC is a cancer that develops in the lining of the kidney or ureter. The standard treatment is radical nephroureterectomy, which removes the kidney and ureter. Although this surgery can control the cancer, it permanently reduces kidney function.
Endoscopic treatment can serve as a kidney-sparing approach for low-risk UTUC; however, in high-risk patients, the high rate of upper tract local recurrence after endoscopic treatment remains the primary failure pattern. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radio...
