Abstract
To compare overall (OS), cancer-specific (CSS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and postoperative renal function amongst patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) of the distal (lower lumbar and pelvic) ureter, electively treated with segmental resection and termino-terminal anastomosis (TT) vs bladder cuff removal and ureteric re-implantation (RR).
