Herein, we report the firstcases of a hemi-CUTE and CUTE in our department and share our experience with this aggressive andcomplex surgical treatment.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Bladder cancer (BC), the most common malignancy of the urinary tract, accounts for 90-95% of allurothelial carcinomas (UCs), while upper urinary tract UC (UUTUC) accounts for only 5-10%.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Radicalnephroureterectomy with excision of bladder cuff, and radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dis-section and a urinary diversion (UD) are the gold standard treatments for UUTUC and muscle-invasivebladder cancer (MIBC), respectively.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Herein, we report the firstcases of a hemi-CUTE and CUTE in our department and share our experience with this aggressive andcomplex surgical treatment.

Özet
Bladder cancer (BC), the most common malignancy of the urinary tract, accounts for 90-95% of allurothelial carcinomas (UCs), while upper urinary tract UC (UUTUC) accounts for only 5-10%. Radicalnephroureterectomy with excision of bladder cuff, and radical cystectomy with pelvic lymph node dis-section and a urinary diversion (UD) are the gold standard treatments for UUTUC and muscle-invasivebladder cancer (MIBC), respectively. These two treatments can be performed simultaneously when abilateral or unilateral UUTUC is present with a MIBC, and are called complete urinary tract extirpation(CUTE) and hemi-CUTE, respectively. This complex surgery can help the patient by avoiding multi-staged surgeries, repeated anesthesia, and delay in completion of treatment. Herein, we report the firstcases of a hemi-CUTE and CUTE in our department and share our experience with this aggressive andcomplex surgical treatment.
