  • Title: [Radiotherapy of kidney pelvis and ureteral cancers].
    Author: Müller RP, Schnepper E.
    Journal: Urologe A; 1986 Jan; 25(1):7-11. PubMed ID: 3962050.
    Abstract:
    The indications and possibilities of radiotherapy in carcinomas of the renal pelvis and the ureter are demonstrated. Based on the literature and our own experience in 22 cases, postoperative radiotherapy should be performed in cases of deep infiltrating carcinomas, after subtotal surgery, and in cases with lymph node metastases. The radiation dose applied should be 50-55 Gy to the tumor bed and 45 (-50) Gy to the regional lymph nodes. Local recurrences can be greatly diminished without severe complications. Therefore, postoperative radiotherapy in carcinomas of the renal pelvis and the ureter can be recommended.
