* Discuss disease-related stresses and risk factors and encourage patients with urothelial cancer to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, including smoking cessation, exercise, and a healthy diet, to promote long-term health benefits and quality of life.
**UTUC is associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity, with obesity adversely impacting disease-specific outcomes among patients undergoing RNU.
**Clinicians should work with patients and their primary care providers to ensure that comorbidities are optimally managed throughout the course of care for UTUC and during surveillance to maximize quality of life during survivorship.
