Muscle-invasive bladder and urethral cancer recurrence after surgical management of upper tract urothelial carcinoma: A review of 305 patients

Abstract

MIBC is a relatively uncommon (6%) post UTUC, and ureteral tumors, especially distal in location, are the independent risk factor. Extended surveillance for those patients is needed. Urethral cancer recurrence is rare (2%); most cases are localized in the posterior urethra, they are noninvasive, and may develop even after cystectomy.
