Summary
This study tested whether a laser microscope used during a kidney-ureter scope procedure can tell normal tissue from tumors in the upper urinary tract. 29 adults with blood in urine, kidney stones, or urinary tract cancer took part. The goal was to see if this technique could reduce the need for biopsies, which can be difficult and risky.
