The Recurrence Rates at Three Years for the Conservatively Managed UTUC Cases Using NBI-Assisted Flexible Ureteroscopy and Holmium Laser Vaporization by Petrisor Geavlete, Valentin Iordache, Razvan Multescu, Alexandra Paunescu, Cosmin Ene, Razvan Popescu, Catalin Bulai, Bogdan Geavlete

“…<i>Conclusions</i>: The recurrence rates at three years for the UTUC cases managed conservatively, using NBI-assisted flexible ureteroscopy and Holmium laser vaporization, were lower than in patients treated by the same technique without NBI assistance, both in low- and high-grade tumors. Cancer-specific survival was also significantly improved by the association of NBI visualization during diagnosis and laser vaporization.…”
