Bilateral Metachronous Ureteral and Renal Pelvic Carcinomas: Incidence, Clinical Presentation, Histopathology, Treatment and Outcome

Bilateral subsequent upper tract tumors are rare, in general diagnosed at an older age and associated with short survival. Many patients die of bladder cancer and it may be possible to improve survival if the bladder cancer is treated early and aggressively. Routine followup urography is not indicated among patients with a tumor-free bladder and a history of UUTT.
