POST URS Chemotherapy Instillation

URS is routinely used for both diagnosis and treatment of UTUC - it is used either as an initial diagnostic procedure or as a curative procedure in cases amenable for endoscopic tumor ablation; either with low-risk disease or an imperative indication due to impaired renal function.

Following extirpative surgery patients are prone to IVR. Those patients undergo routine follow-up with cystoscopy and in cases of IVR require TURBT and further management based on bladder cancer protocols. In this setting, a single post-operative bladder instillation with various chemotherapeutic agents has shown a significant reduction in IVR rates following RNU.

Retrospective evidence suggests there is an increase IVR rates following URS for UTUC.

In this study the investigators seek to evaluate the efficacy of a single, post URS, bladder instillation with chemotherapy to reduce IVR.
