Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Kidney and Upper Tract Urinary Cancers (UTUC) are diseases with an increasing incidence, and the treatment of which are undergoing a continuous process of evolution. A characteristic feature of the picture composing the results of renal cell cancer (RCC) treatment is the significant heterogeneity of patients (including different stages of local advancement, different locations of metastases). Importantly, it is estimated that up to 30% of newly diagnosed RCC cases are patients with disseminated disease at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, predicting the response to modern treatment remains the unmet need of modern urologic oncology. Recent advancements in systematic treatment, i.e., immunotherapy, shed additional light on adjuvant treatment to be implemented in new clinical scenarios, including localized disease.
This Special Issue aims to cover novel approaches in the renal and urothelial cancers. We opt for original papers and reviews relating to advances in the treatment of Kidney and Upper Tract Urinary Cancers.
