Brief Summary

Following radical nephrectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) most patients face a poor prognosis. Indeed, patients who have undergone RNU for UTUC have 5-year recurrence-free and cancer specific survival probabilities of 69% and 73% respectively. The primary objective of this study is to assess the pathological complete response rate to combination therapy with neoadjuvant durvalumab and chemotherapy (Gemcitabine/Cisplatin) before surgery in patients with high-risk, localized, non-metastatic urothelial carcinomas of the upper tract.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient has been correctly informed and has given signed consent. * Patient is covered by a health insurance scheme. * Patients aged over 70 must have a G8 score (Soubeyran et al. 2014) of at least 14. * Patient's body weight must be over 30kg * Patient has high-grade urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis or ureter confirmed histologically (uteroscopic biopsy) or cytologically (urine cytology). * Presence of divergent histologies (i.e. squamous cell tumour, adenocarcinoma, small cell carcinoma, micropapillary variant) may also give rise to inclusion if there is a high prevalence (over 90%) of a urothelial component. * Presence of EITHER high-grade disease on the uteroscopic tumor biopsy * OR Presence of high-grade disease on urine cytology AND infiltrative aspect of renal pelvis/ ureteral wall on the CT scan (presence of hydronephrosis will be considered invasive by definition) with negative cystoscopy. * Or in the absence of histological evidence, the opinion
