Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Cancer is a difficult disease to treat and it is important to first confirm diagnosis. In case a tumor or cancer is suspected in your mother then I suggest that you get complete medical work up done in a cancer hospital. There are many cancer institutes in India including Tata cancer hospital in Bombay and Calcutta. You can go directly to these hospitals and get it confirmed if the tumor involving ureter is a cancer and what stage is it.

In the cancer hospital they will also do biopsy from tumor and tell if the tumor is aggressive or benign. Treatment is as per staging and usually involves surgery if it is in initial stage 1. In stages 2, 3 and 4 the treatment is by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Please do not worry.
