[Results of the treatment of carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter].

Twenty-one patients with renal pelvic carcinoma and eighteen patients with ureteral carcinoma were treated with surgical therapy. In 14 of the 39 patients, we performed nephroureterectomy with a bladder cuff (NUpB), nephroureterectomy with total cystectomy (NUtB) in 12, nephrectomy with partial ureteric resection (NpU) in 8 and others in 5. Following surgery, 8 had recurrences and metastasis and 21 died with carcinoma and 10 survived without evidence of disease. The 5-year survival rate of the patients with renal pelvis carcinoma is 33.5% and 52.0% in ureteral carcinoma.
