International audience. Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is often locally advanced at initial diagnosis and is associated with high recurrence and mortality rates after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy has shown a recurrence-free survival benefit in a randomised phase III trial, while neoadjuvant treatment seems promising in retrospective series. On the contrary, little is known about the role of perioperative immunotherapy and its combination with chemotherapy for UTUC patients, although initial positive results have been published for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
