01/01/2021 - "To assess the impact of two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients who underwent nephroureterectomy for high-risk cN0M0 upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), and to evaluate the efficacy of NAC in patients with localised disease (≤cT2). "
01/01/2021 - "Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the gold standard treatment for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC); however, patients presenting with small low-grade UTUC have been treated by flexible ureteroscopic laser ablation with good outcomes. "

11/01/2020 - "Radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) remains the gold standard for surgical treatment, nevertheless a conservative endoscopic approach can be proposed for low risk lesion: unifocal tumor, possible complete resection and low grade and absence of invasion on CT-scan. "
04/01/2000 - "Furthermore, as preoperative grading and staging have improved, ureteroscopic treatment of upper-tract urothelial tumors is assuming an increasingly important role in the management of some patients who might have otherwise been treated with a nephroureterectomy. "
01/10/2023 - "Radical nephroureterectomy (NUE) is the gold standard treatment for high-risk urothelial cancer of the upper urinary tract (UTUC). "
01/01/2022 - "Resection of the primary tumor site is beneficial for the prognosis of patients with metastatic UTUC, whether local tumor resection (HR = 0.72, P < 0.01) or nephroureterectomy (HR = 0.64, P < 0.01). "
11/08/2021 - "Radical open nephroureterectomy (ONU) with bladder cuff excision (BCE) is the traditional gold standard approach for management of high-risk non-metastatic upper tract urothelial cancer. "

12/01/2011 - "Nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision has been the gold standard treatment for upper tract transitional cell carcinoma (UTTCC) for more than 60 years. "
03/01/2008 - "As the oncologic outcomes after laparoscopic nephroureterectomy continue to mature, a laparoscopic approach for the renal portion of nephroureterectomy is widely accepted as the gold standard in the treatment of organ-confined upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma. "
11/01/2002 - "Laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy appears to be an effective minimally invasive treatment for select patients with upper tract transitional cell carcinoma. "
03/01/2003 - "Hand assisted retroperitoneoscopic nephroureterectomy is an effective and safe alternative to open nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract transitional cell carcinoma."
03/01/2003 - "To evaluate the efficacy of our new retroperitoneoscopic nephroureterectomy for patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter, we present the operative procedure and analysis of the clinical outcome of retroperitoneoscopy in 23 patients. "

01/01/2020 - "Single, postoperative instillation of prophylactic intravesical chemotherapy (pIVC) is effective in reducing bladder cancer recurrences following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). "
01/01/2019 - "Radical nephroureterectomy with excision of bladder cuff, and radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection and a urinary diversion (UD) are the gold standard treatments for UUTUC and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), respectively. "
04/01/2023 - "In this study, we experienced a case of bladder cancer after the recommended waiting period in a patient who had bladder preservation after a right nephrectomy and left nephroureterectomy. "
01/01/2019 - "Larger studies are needed to advise treatment of UTUC after a urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) diagnosis, as these patients face poorer outcomes following radical nephroureterectomy. "
08/18/2015 - "In this study, 38 patients clinically diagnosed as localized UTUC after renal transplantation were included, and treated by retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy between April 2006 and March 2013, after exclusion of those with a previous and/or concurrent history of bladder cancer. "

05/01/2017 - "Patients who commenced GC chemotherapy after nephroureterectomy comprised the solitary kidney (SK) group; the remaining patients (i.e., those with both kidneys) comprised the BK group. "
03/01/2009 - "Assuming a worst-case scenario of a solitary kidney with recurrences at each follow-up for 5 years v nephroureterectomy and dialysis for the same period, an estimated $252,272 U.S. "
01/01/1995 - "Two patients had undergone nephroureterectomy previously, whereas one patient had a single functioning kidney. "
01/01/1987 - "Two cases are reported: in one case, the error required nephro-ureterectomy and in the other case percutaneous nephrostomy, now a routine procedure, allowed salvage of the single kidney and preservation of the diversion with satisfactory long term function."
04/01/2022 - "To clarify the safety and efficacy of en bloc simultaneous robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) for synchronous muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) or UTUC of a solitary kidney, we evaluated the perioperative and short-term outcomes of this surgical procedure compared with those of simultaneous open radical cystectomy and nephroureterectomy.
