ABSTRACT
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the second most commonly diagnosed genitourinary tumor, and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) accounts for 5% of UC in USA. It may be more in Asia. Senventy-eight percent of UTUC may be invasive when diagnosed. The radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with bladder cuff is the golden standard treatment. In recent years, as the development of radiotherapy, adjuvant radiotherapy (ART) after RNU has been used to treat UTUC patients, but its efficacy is still a controversy. We did this review focusing on ART’s efficacy after RNU to guide and help the clinical practice.
