Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (UTUC) is a relatively uncommon but increasingly diagnosed condition with many controversies and limitations in its management. Researchers aim to create a local registry at their hospital to gather detailed clinical information and outcomes related to UTUC, helping to better understand the disease's epidemiology, natural history, and treatment results. This study is observational and focuses on collecting comprehensive data to improve knowledge and care for UTUC patients. Participants in this study will be adults diagnosed with UTUC who are either awaiting surgery or have a history of UTUC with prior interventions. The study involves collecting blood, urine, and tumor tissue samples to explore new diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities. There is no specific treatment given as part of this study; rather, it tracks patients over time to assess the disease and its effects. Participants will be followed for up to 10 years to monitor long-term survival, recurrence rates, disease progression, and any complications related to UTUC. The study includes regular collection of clinical information and biological samples to support these assessments. This long-term observation aims to provide valuable insights into the physical and biological impact of UTUC on patients.
