The common clinical symptom is gross hematuria. Ultrasound, IVP (intravenous urography), CT or urinary reconstruction CTU and MRU can find tumors, and combined with pathological examination of exfoliated cells, the pathological types of tumors can be judged.
Routine preoperative examination, if there are no signs of metastasis, radical resection of ureteral tumor can be considered. The scope of operation includes partial mucosal resection of kidney, ureter and bladder near the ureter opening. If the tumor is suspected to invade the surrounding tissues or lymph node metastasis during the operation, it can be marked with silver clip during the operation and supplemented with radiotherapy after the operation.
There seems to be no cure for malignant tumor at present. Whether the operation is ideal or not depends mainly on long-term follow-up after operation.
