Learning Objectives:

Identify clinically available data that can help assess risk of upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) disease, and the pitfalls of these data.
Recognize the possibility of undiagnosed inheritable Lynch syndrome in patients with UTUC and ask about personal and family history of non-genitourinary (GU) cancers, particularly colon, endometrial and other gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
Verbalize the important role of kidney function before and after nephroureterectomy in the management of UTUC and consider how different management strategies will impact future options.
Compare the current and emerging clinical trial data on neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, and recognize the ideal and optional variety of chemotherapy regimens for neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy.
Identify the selection criteria and indications for segmental ureterectomy and nephroureterectomy, and recognize the beneficial role of intravesicular chemotherapy during/after nephroureterectomy for prevention of bladder cancer.

This course will cover a broad-spectrum of management strategies in patients with upper tract urothelial cancer in a case-based format with audience participation and multiple opportunities for audience questions. Cases will be presented with relevant clinical data and images and the panelists will give their recommendations for management, while the interaction by panelists and audience will highlight areas of controversy, knowledge gaps and provide guidance in the face of minimal level 1 data. This course will primarily cover management strategies with less emphasis on techniques.
