Abstract
The records and pathological slides of 60 patients with ureteral cancer were reviewed with particular attention to the tumor-adjacent mucosa. Mucosal abnormalities increased as grade and stage increased; their presence did not correlate with survival nor with the presence of urothelial tumors elsewhere, i.e., previous, concomitant and subsequent tumors. Patients with papillary and solid tumors survived equally well. Survival among patients with stage B tumors was better than that reported previously (82% survived 5 yr).
