  Case Western Reserve University Received a 2012 NIH Grant for $304,012 for Staging of Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer with Optical Coherence Tomography. The principal investigator is Andrew Rollins. The program started in 2012 and ends in 2014. Below is a summary of the work. D iagnosis and treatment of upper-tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC) remain very challenging for urologists. Standard management for many years has been radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). However, RNU is a significant over-treatment for low-risk tumors, which have low rate of progression. Endoscopic management of these low-risk cases bears obvious advantages over RNU, including lower co-morbidity and lower ...
