- Abstract
The article provides information on a study which examined the renal function of patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) prior and following nephroureterectomy (NU) to identify the proportion of patients with optimal renal function to be considered for cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy (CBCC). A brief information on UTUC is offered. The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula was employed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with UTUC. A discussion on the research findings is offered.
