pubmed:abstractText |
Radical surgery represents the treatment of choice for carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. Nevertheless, approximately 50% of patients with stage T >/= 3 or lymph node involvement die from their disease, mainly as a result of the development of distant metastases. Therefore, there is a need for effective adjuvant systemic treatment. We prospectively studied a cohort of patients who underwent surgery for high-risk carcinoma of the upper urinary tract to assess the feasibility of the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin as adjuvant treatment.
