Intravesical Recurrence after Surgical Management of Urothelial Carcinoma of the Upper Urinary Tract

Abstract

Tumor multifocality is a significant risk factor in developing IVR after surgery for UUT-UC. These results indicate that despite most IVR occurring within 2 years of treatment, it is necessary to follow such patients more closely using cystoscopy. However, IVR is unlikely to indicate a poorer prognosis.
