Do Breathing and Coughing Exercises Practice taking deep breaths and coughing before your surgery. You will be given an incentive spirometer to help expand your lungs. For more information, read our resource How to Use Your Incentive Spirometer.[mskcc.org]
About SleepApneaSleepapnea is a common breathing disorder that causes a person to stop breathing for short periods of time while sleeping. The most common type is obstructive sleepapnea (OSA).[mskcc.org]

But on my third day of outpatient chemotherapy, I woke up confused with visualhallucinations and was admitted to the ER. I didn’t work for the next two-and-a-half years. From that day forward for the next year, I was seldom without a caregiver.[mdanderson.org]
Many people say they felt weepy, sad, worried, nervous, irritable, and angry at one time or another. You may find that you can’t control some of these feelings. If this happens, it’s a good idea to seek emotional support.[mskcc.org]
Removing or damaging the nerves is sometimes needed and may cause side effects such as retrogradeejaculation in men. This is a condition where semen is pushed backward into the bladder instead of out of the body.[cancer.ca]
In the original full template bilateral RPLND (Figure 1) that was done without nerve sparing, more than 90% of patients had retrogradeejaculation.[urotoday.com]
This is called retrogradeejaculation and can impact your fertility (ability to have biological children). For more information, read RetrogradeEjaculation. Your surgeon will try to use nerve sparing techniques if possible.[mskcc.org]
The most common symptom of pyelo-carcinoma is gross or microscopichematuria, observed in 70%–80% of the cases [ 5 ], followed by flank pain and a lumbar mass. UTUCs that invade the muscle wall usually have a very poor prognosis.[bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]
The patient should undergo dedicated imaging and workup of the retroperitoneal mass. Surgery The best chance for resection with curative intent is at the time of primary presentation.[bccancer.bc.ca]
What the surgeon needs to know Imaging is important in the diagnostic workup of these patients, being required not only for tumor detection, staging, and operative planning, but also for guiding percutaneous or surgical biopsy of these tumors.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Diagnostic Workup The diagnosis and treatment of STS mandates a multidisciplinary approach ideally carried out in reference centers treating a high number of patients annually ( 11 ).[frontiersin.org]
Retroperitoneal sarcoma cancer treatment in San Diego Retroperitoneal sarcoma cancer treatment in San Diego Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center physicians use the most advanced treatments, including surgery, radiation and biologic therapy, to eliminate[scripps.org]

Fine needle aspiration should be avoided as it rarely yields diagnostic information and can delay treatment.[bccancer.bc.ca]
Radiation and chemotherapy sometimes lower this risk, but given the rarity of this disease, we currently do not have enough information to know if these nonsurgical treatments are truly effective.[curetoday.com]
Currently, the standard treatment for renal pelvis carcinoma is radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff excision.[bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]
They use the stage along with other information about the type and grade of the cancer to make treatment decisions and give a prognosis.[cancer.ca]

UTUCs that invade the muscle wall usually have a very poor prognosis. The 5-year specific survival is less than 50% for pT2/pT3 tumors and less than 10% for pT4 tumors [ 6 ].[bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]
Treatment and prognosisPrognosis depends on the histological type of a tumor and the potential for resection.[radiopaedia.org]
The study by Dodd et al. revealed that, while patients with regional adenopathy had improved outcomes with post-chemotherapy surgery, those with distant lymph nodal disease had poorer prognosis despite surgical resection [ 8 ].[content.iospress.com]

The surgeon will try to avoid removing the nerves and prevent damage to the nerves in the back of the abdomen (called a nerve-sparing RPLND).[cancer.ca]

“We are trying this approach to prevent the gastrointestinal toxicity found in previous trials of omni-directional brachytherapy implants.” Howell said.[foxchase.org]
In this case, to prevent cancer spillage or seeding, we suggest guaranteeing the resection range be sufficient and avoiding touching and squeezing the tumor.[bmcurol.biomedcentral.com]
