Simultaneous Urothelial Carcinoma in the Upper Urinary Tract and Contralateral Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Although urological surgeons often diagnose cases of simultaneous double cancers of the urinary tract in our clinical practice, few reports have shown that treatment strategies achieve both anticancer effects and preservation of renal function for simultaneous contralateral renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma.
