NOCTURN study shows ureteral optical coherence tomography improves diagnostic accuracy for T staging in upper urinary tract carcinoma, highlighting its safety.
Objectives: One of the major limitations of the current diagnostic techniques for upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC) is the risk of both understaging and overstaging, highlighting the need for real-time, high-resolution intraoperative imaging. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and safety of ureteral optical coherence tomography (OCT) under ureterorenoscopy for T staging of UTUC.
