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 PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with localized transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter.

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

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with regional transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter.

Treatment of metastatic transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter is usually done in a clinical trial, which may include chemotherapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with metastatic transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter.

Treatment of recurrent transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter is usually done in a clinical trial, which may include chemotherapy.

Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's PDQ Cancer Clinical Trials Registry that are now accepting patients with recurrent transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis and ureter.
