Challenges in Follow-up After Kidney-sparing Surgery for Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: Insights from a Delphi Consensus
This Delphi project underscores the challenges of standardising follow-up protocols after KSS for UTUC. A balanced approach is needed to ensure early recurrence detection while preserving renal function and quality of life. Robust data on prognostic factors are essential to better identify patients at risk of recurrence and to refine surveillance strategies. Collaborative research remains essential for developing evidence-based follow-up protocols for this rare disease.
