Treatment Localized disease: Radical nephrectomy. Metstatic disease: Radiation therapy. Immunotherapy PROGNOSIS: stage % 5yrs survival stageII 60% 5yrs survival.
Urethelial tumor of the renal pelvis 4% of urethelial tumors. Male-Female ratio 4-1. High incidence of multicentric. Etiology: Risk factor: smoking industrial dye,solvent, analgesic such as phenacetin,aspirin,caffeine, acetaminophen.. Pathology: Majority are Transitional cell carcinoma. Rarely squamous cell carcinoma,or adenocarcinoma.
Pathology of TCC. Metastasis : Regional LNs,Lung,bone. Staging: TNM: Ta.Tis: confined to mucosa. T1 Invasion of lamina propria. T2 Invasion of muscularis. T3a Invasion of deep muscles. T3b Extension into fat or renal parechyma. T4 Spread to adjacent organs. N+ LNs Metastasis. M+ Distant metastasis.
Clinical Findings: Symptoms&Signs: Gross Hematuria. Flank pain. Flank mass(Hydronephrosis). Weight loss anorexia. Laboratory: Hematuria. Urine cytology(voided urine or ureteric catheter).
