摘要: Purpose: Knowledge of tumor stage and grade is paramount for treatment decision making in cases upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma but this condition cannot be accurately assessed by current techniques. Optical coherence tomography can hypothetically provide the urologist with real-time intraoperative information on stage. In pilot study we report what are to our knowledge first results optical grading staging carcinoma.Materials Methods: Eight consecutive patients underwent ureterorenoscopy suspicion or followup carcinoma. data sets were intraoperatively obtained from ureter renal pelvis. All eventually nephroureterectomy. was done visual inspection lesions found images. quantifying ...
