Lynch syndrome and exposure to aristolochic acid in upper-tract urothelial carcinoma: its clinical impact?

The purpose of the current review was to describe the clinical risk for Lynch syndrome (LS) after exposure to aristolochic acid (AA) in cases of upper urinary-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). A systematic review of the scientific literature was performed using the Medline database (National Library of Medicine, PubMed) using the following keywords: epidemiology, risk factor, AA, Balkan nephro...

Association between Lynch syndrome and renal carcinoma.

We read with interest the study published by Ferrer et al. about a patient with Lynch syndrome (LS) who presented a colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and a synchronous clear cell renal carcinoma (CCRC) (1). From our point of view, it would be interesting to emphasize some aspects of this patient, such as the type of mutation carried by the patient, and its cancer familial tree. In addition, we would l...

Urothelial cancers are also part of the spectrum of cancers associated with Lynch syndrome. Several studies have looked at the impact of gene-environment interaction on cancer risk in Lynch synd...

ZKSCAN3 expression in urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract and its impact on patient outcomes

We recently found that a zinc-finger transcription factor, ZKSCAN3, could induce the growth of bladder cancer cells. In this study, we immunohistochemically stained for ZKSCAN3 in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC) specimens. ZKSCAN3 was positive in 52 [42.4%; 26 (26.3%) weak (1+), 13 (13.1%) moderate (2+), and 3 (3.0%) strong (3+)] of 99 UUTUCs, which was significantly (P<0.001) ...
