A link to a list of current clinical trials is included for each treatment section. For some types or stages of cancer, there may not be any trials listed. Check with your doctor for clinical trials that are not listed here but may be right for you.

Treatment of localized transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter may include the following:

• Surgery (nephroureterectomy or segmental resection of ureter).
• A clinical trial of fulguration.
• A clinical trial of laser surgery.
• A clinical trial of segmental resection of the renal pelvis.
• A clinical trial of regional chemotherapy.
• A clinical trial of regional biologic therapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with localized transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter. For more specific results, refine the search by using other search features, such as the location of the trial, the type of treatment, or the name of the drug. General information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.

Treatment of regional transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter is usually done in a clinical trial.
