Abstract
For G1 upper tract urothelial carcinoma, endoscopic management can provide effective oncologic control and renal preservation. However, endoscopic management should not be considered for higher grade disease except in compelling imperative cases or in patients with poor life expectancy as oncologic outcomes are inferior to those of laparoscopic nephroureterectomy.
