Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of NSTT have been registered during the last years. Tumor markers have permitted to lower the percentage of staging error ; nevertheless they have their limits and a return to normal of tumor markers do not mean obligatorily the disparition of a viable tumor. The treatment of NSTT is an emergency : lymphadenectomy is now, for most of authors limited and guided by extemporaneal exploration ; radiotherapy has a complementary target of detecting agent ; chemotherapy (particularly since CDDP was introduced) is very efficient in disseminated forms of disease giving long term remission in 50 to 70 % of cases. Actual results give, for next years, the hope of eradication of NSST in a high number of cases.

[Unilateral implantation of the ureter into the posterior urethra in boys. 5 cases (author's transl)].

The authors report five new cases of unilateral implantation of the ureter into the posterior urethra in boys. Study of these cases confirms the classical data, i.e.: --The chief presenting symptom is infection. There is no urinary incontinence. --The principle examinations useful in diagnosis are the I.V.P. and urethroscopy. --The ectopic termination is in most cases associated with a double ureter, arising from the upper pelvis. However, the ureter may be single (1/5). --In three cases out of five the upper kidney was dysplasic, necessitating partial nephrectomy. In two cases out of five the kidney corresponding to the ectopic ureter was functional, making possible conservatrice surgery with reimplantation of the pathological ureter into the bladder.
