Ureteral and Renal Pelvis Cancers

Ureteral and renal pelvis cancers are types of urinary tract cancers. The ureters are tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder, while the renal pelvis is the area where urine collects in the kidney before moving to the ureters. These cancers often arise from the cells lining these structures and may cause symptoms like blood in urine, pain, or changes in urination. Diagnosis typically involves imaging and biopsies. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, depending on the cancer stage and location. Early detection is crucial for better outcomes.
