原発生尿管癌の10例

Abstract

Carcinoma occurring primarily in the ureter has been increasingly reported, though used to be rare disease. We presented here ten cases of ureteral carcinoma, the incidence of which was 0.18% of outpatients in our urologic clinic [or four years. The age of patients was from 41 to 77-year-old with average age of 62.2 year and with male predominance. Most of the carcinoma located in the lower portion of the ureter. Hematuria and less frequently lumbar pain or pain on micturition were initial symptoms. Of the various urologic examinations, cystoscopy, DIP and RP were mostly available and contributory to diagnosis. The survival of the patients with ureteral carcinoma was not favorable, despite of radical surgical excision associated with chemotherapy, and the three-year survival rate was twenty per cent.
