Popis: A review of 611 cases of renal pelvic or ureter tumor registered in Tokai Urological Tumor Registry for the past 10 years from 1980 and comparison of results between the first and latter half was made. The number of renal pelvis tumor was 347 and that of ureter tumors was 264. Clinical stages and pathological grades of the tumor were as follows; Ta, 11.9; T1, 31.8; T2, 14.4; T3, 24.3; T4, 17.6% and G1, 10.5; G2, 49.3; G3, 33.0%. Higher stages and grades were observed in the recent 5 years. Of 409 cases (66.9% in total cases) treated by total nephroureterectomy, 28.3% of the first and 49.0% of the latter half were treated adjunctively by chemotherapy. Five years relative survival rates of these two groups were 49.4 and 47.3%, respectively, suggesting no improved results. A new treatment strategy such as neoadjuvant chemotherapy or lymphadenectomy is expected to improve the prognosis.
