Can a patient registry unlock the secrets of a rare cancer?
NCT ID NCT05438537
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 300 men with upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC), a rare cancer of the kidney's drainage system, to track their long-term survival, recurrence, and complication rates. By prospectively collecting data from patients before and after surgery or other interventions, researchers aim to better understand the physical and biological effects of the disease. The goal is to fill gaps in knowledge and potentially improve future management and follow-up strategies for UTUC.
