Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) Patients with clinical Ta-1N0M0 localized upper urinary tract cancer desire kidney-preservation therapy and meet any of the following A to E. A. Tumor develops in patients with solitary kidney or tumor develops bilaterally. B. Patients with chronic kidney disease are expected to avoid renal replacement therapy in the future by kidney-preservation therapy. C. Due to poor performance status, it is clinically judged that total nephroureterectomy is not indicated. D. Patients have a single tumor with a major axis of 10 mm or less and have a healthy kidney on the contralateral side. E.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Progression-free survival Definition of progression: patients experience any of the following events A. Imaging with CT scan or MRI reveals local progression or distant metastasis (event occurrence date: date of the imaging) B. The principal investigator or the subinvestigators judge that ureteroscopic treatment cannot be completed in the follow-up photodynamic diagnosis-assisited ureteroscopy (event occurrence date: date of the ureteroscopy)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Recurrence-free survival (intravesical recurrence-free survival and upper urinary tract recurrence-free survival) 2) Time to salvage radical nephroureterectomy 3) Cancer-specific survival 4) Overall survival 5) Postoperative change of health-related quality of life (evaluation with SF-8 , EORTC QLQ-C30, FACT-BL): before treatment, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months after treatment 6) Postoperative change of lower urinary tract symptoms (evaluation with IPSS and OABSS): before treatment, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months after treatment 7) Rate of adverse events (evaluation with CTCAE ver 5) 8) Diagnostic accuracy of urine cytology and UroVision test of voiding urine specimens during follow-up 9) Diagnostic accuracy of urine cytology and UroVision test of urine specimens obtained by ureteroscopy during follow-up 10) Safety of 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride
