description

  • The impact of preoperative chemotherapy in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma remains poorly investigated. We assessed the rates of pathological complete response (pT0N0/X) and downstaging (pT1N0/X or less) at radical nephroureterectomy after preoperative chemotherapy and evaluated their impact on survival.
