UTUC Background and Basics
Produced in collaboration with Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN)
This program is sponsored by UroGen® Pharma, Inc.
Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (UTUC) is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the lining of the kidneys and ureters. When you or a loved one receives a diagnosis, it may feel like there is a shortage of information. Join us for “Uncovering UTUC,” an online program featuring different chapters exploring what UTUC is, how it can be treated, and what support is available for patients and caregivers.
Among the topics discussed:
- Key symptoms and diagnosis
- The difference between low-grade and high-grade disease
- Treatment options and factors that influence treatment decisions
- How to make a treatment decision with your healthcare team
- Advocacy and peer support groups
