Cancer is when cells in the body outgrow control, regularly shaping a mass or tumor. In upper urinary tract cancer, unusual cells are found in the:

• Renal pelvis (where urine gathers in the kidneys before it goes to the ureters and bladder)

• Renal calyces (spaces deep in the kidneys)

• Ureters (thin tubes, made of muscle, which move urine from the kidney to the bladder)

Cancers of the upper urinary tract are moderately uncommon. The most common of all upper urinary tract cancers are those found in the renal pelvis and renal calyces. Cancer in the ureters makes up about a fourth of all upper urinary tract cancers.

Tumors of the renal calyces, renal pelvis and ureters start in the layer of tissue that lines the bladder and the upper urinary ptract, called the urothelium. Cancer that beginnings in the urothelium is called urothelial (or temporary cell) cancer. This is the most widely recognized sort of cancer found in the bladder, also. Since a considerable tract of the organs in the urinary framework share normal cells, cancers found in these organs frequently look and act the same.

The urothelium is uncommon in the manner that it expands and therapists to push urine through the urinary tract. Since it is in direct contact with the urine, this covering is presented to synthetic substances (cancer-causing agents) sifted through of the blood by the kidneys. These synthetic substances can make cells change and outgrow control as cancer.

Since the bladder stores urine, it very well might be at more serious danger for cancer than different pieces of the upper tract. Its cells are presented to hurtful substances for a more drawn out time frame. At the point when urine has a high percent of destructive synthetic compounds, cancer may likewise fill in the kidney or ureters.

A specialist may examine a few therapy alternatives with an individual, including a medical procedure, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment.

Cancers of the upper urinary ptract are generally uncommon— around 3,000 cases are analyzed every year in the United States.
