Abstract

Urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary tract are rare entities. Surgery remains the mainstay of the management. The use of others therapeutic modalities is not clearly defined yet. However, the frequency of local recurrence and locoregional encourage us to evaluate the indication of adjuvant therapies. We conducted a synthesis of key data in the literature on the use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter. A literature search on PubMed was performed using the following keywords (MeSH) “urothelial carcinoma”, “upper urinary tract”, “radiation”, “chemotherapy”, and adjuvant.
