A retrospective multicenter comparison of conditional cancer-specific survival between laparoscopic and open radical nephroureterectomy in locally advanced upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundUpper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas are relatively rare and have a cancer-specific survival rate of 20%-30%. The current gold standard treatment for nonmetastatic high-grade urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is radical nephroureterectomy

Fluorescent Ureteral Catheter‐Assisted Retroperitoneoscopic Biopsy for Periureteral IgG4‐Related Disease Mimicking Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Periureteral IgG4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD) is rare and can mimic upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), sometimes leading to unnecessary nephroureterectomy. Diagnosis is challenging when endoscopic biopsy is inconclusive and percutaneous biopsy is unsafe.

EXPRESSION OF PLAKIN FAMILY IN UROTHELIAL CARCINOMA OF THE UPPER URINARY TRACT

The Japanese Journal of Urology, 2017
(Objective) To determine whether the plakin family proteins periplakin, desmoplakin, plectin, and envoplakin could be markers of urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. (Materials and methods) Fifty-seven surgical specimens were obtained from patients with urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract, who were admitted to the Jikei ...

A Case Report of Left Pyelonephritis With Low‐Grade Contralateral Vesicoureteral Reflux After Robot‐Assisted Right Nephroureterectomy

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pyelonephritis with contralateral vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) after robot‐assisted radical nephroureterectomy (RANU) in a solitary kidney has rarely been reported. Case Presentation A 73‐year‐old woman with preoperative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS; IPSS 15, OABSS 7) underwent right RANU for urothelial carcinoma of the renal

Upper Urinary Tract Carcinoma In Situ: Current Knowledge, Future Direction. [PDF]

, 2017
PURPOSE Carcinoma in situ of the urinary tract is a high grade form of nonmuscle invasive urothelial cancer. Our understanding of this entity in the upper tract is poor, and case management remains challenging due to knowledge gaps regarding the ...

A Case of Robot‐Assisted Radical Cystectomy for a Third Kidney Transplant Recipient

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Although robot‐assisted surgery is widely used, there are few reports of robot‐assisted radical cystectomy in kidney transplant recipients. We report our experience with robot‐assisted radical cystectomy in a patient who had undergone three kidney transplants.

Molecular Characterization of Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder and Upper Urinary Tract

Translational Oncology, 2018
A better understanding of the molecular basis of urothelial carcinoma (UC) is needed to refine the clinical decision-making process.We performed next-generation sequencing to investigate the mutational and transcriptional profiles of commonly mutated genes in UC using Ampliseq v2. Copy number variations (CNVs) were detected with nCounter assay. Genetic

A Germline BRCA2 Pathogenic Variant Identified by Multigene Panel Testing in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is associated with Lynch syndrome; however, increasing evidence suggests broader genetic heterogeneity. Although multigene panel testing (MGPT) is increasingly adopted internationally, syndrome‐specific genetic testing (SSGT) remains predominant in Japan, potentially limiting detection of ...

Overexpression of DPP4 is a poor prognostic factor for patients with urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract and urinary bladder

, 2014
[[abstract]]Background：Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4), also known as CD26, is an enzyme that cleaves a diversity of protein that contains proline or analine, including chemokines, growth factors, and neuropeptide. Different DPP4 expression status has been

Longitudinal circulating tumour DNA identifies patients at high risk of upstaging and recurrence in non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer

BJU International, Volume 138, Issue 3, Page 491-500, September 2026.
Objectives To evaluate whether longitudinal tumour‐informed circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) testing identifies patients at increased risk of upstaging and recurrence in high‐risk non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Patients and Methods A cohort of 52 patients with high‐risk NMIBC underwent serial plasma ctDNA testing using a personalised tumour ...
