Abstract: Simple Summary National cancer registry data showed that segmental ureterectomy is not associated with inferior survival compared to radical nephroureterectomy in upper-tract urothelial carcinoma patients. Segmental ureterectomy provides a valid surgical approach that does not… read more here.
