A member asked:

My 61 year old friend discovered papillary cells in his ureter and renal pelvis. should he take afinotib after the kidney and ureter are removed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

She should be seeing: An oncologist can address your questions better.From what you have written, i suspect that your friend has cancer(?Renal-pelvis/ureter). We first need to know if this is a kidney cancer or a transistional cell cancer(tcc of the renal pelvis). Surgery is the main treatment unless there is already spread of the tumor in which case some of the drugs like you mentioned(axitinib/afinitor) may be useful.
