Impact of Pathology Review in Adverse Histological Characteristics and pT Stages of Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer in a Multicenter Study

PurposePathology reviews for upper urinary tract cancer (UTUC) remained scarce in the literature. Here, we reported the interobserver variation among the review and local pathologies of featured histologic characteristics for UTUC.MethodsPatients who underwent definitive surgical treatments for UTUC...
