What are the treatment methods of ureteral tumor?

Obviously it was copied and pasted upstairs. Let me give you a brief introduction.

First of all, most ureteral tumors are malignant, but some benign tumors are not excluded. Therefore, preoperative biopsy under ureteroscope or intraoperative frozen pathological examination are usually performed to preliminarily determine the nature of the tumor.

If it is proved to be a malignant tumor and the tumor does not invade the ureter, sleeve resection of the affected kidney, ureter and bladder is needed. Postoperative bladder perfusion chemotherapy is needed to prevent tumor recurrence in the bladder, and cystoscopy is reviewed regularly. Intravenous chemotherapy is usually not needed.

If the tumor has invaded beyond the ureter: for example, it has invaded the whole layer, involving the surrounding muscles or organs, and radiotherapy or intravenous chemotherapy is needed after the above operation, the surgeon will leave a silver clip as a marker at the invaded site; If implanted in the bladder, transurethral resection of bladder tumor is needed.

Generally speaking, the prognosis of ureteral cancer is not the same as that of bladder cancer with the same stage, but it can still be cured by regular treatment if it is found in time.
