Diagnosis and Prognostic Factors of UTUC
Preoperative tumor staging and diagnosis are difficult with currently available imaging modalities, but clinical variables have been identified to enable risk stratification and distinguish high-risk and low-risk tumors (Baard et al., Nat Rev Urol 14:181–

Most common symptom of UTUC is hematuria, either gross or microscopic (70–80%) [1]. Flank pain is the second most common symptom, occurring in 20% of tumors, and a lumbar mass is present in approximately 10% [1]. Current pain is the result of ureteral obstruction from blood clots or tumor fragments, renal pelvic or ureteral obstruction by the tumor itself, or regional invasion by the tumor. It is known that flank pain in patients does not correlate with either locally advanced tumor
