Diagnosis and Management of Non-Metastatic Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma

At the time of identified UTUC, clinicians should perform a standardized assessment documenting clinically meaningful endoscopic (focality, location, appearance, size) and radiographic (invasion, obstruction, and lymphadenopathy) features to facilitate clinical staging and risk assessment.
