Transitional Cell Carcinoma of the Renal Pelvis or Ureter treatment in Lagos de Moreno

Transitional cell cancer of the renal pelvis or ureter is a tumor that originates in the tissue that lines the inside of the upper urinary tract, that is, the area of the kidney where urine is collected and the duct that carries it toward the bladder.

Possible signs: blood in the urine, pain in the flank or lower back, and urinary discomfort that is worth evaluating.

When to see a doctor? In the face of blood in the urine or persistent pain in the lower back area, an evaluation is important to pinpoint the cause.

Which specialist provides care? The urologist evaluates the urinary tract and the oncologist guides the management of the tumor, with support from the internist; the general practitioner can begin the evaluation. The recommendation is not to postpone the visit when these symptoms appear.
