Re: Preoperative serum albumin as a prognostic factor in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.
The publication on “Preoperative serum albumin and upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma” is very interesting (1). Ku et al. reported that “hypoalbuminemia is an independent marker of poor prognosis in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (1).” Indeed, there are many recent reports confirming the importance of pretherapeutic serum albumin level (1, 2). This parameter can re...
متن کاملPreoperative serum albumin as a prognostic factor in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.
PURPOSE The study evaluated whether preoperative measures of the C-reactive protein-systemic inflammatory response may predict cancer survival independent of tumor stage in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between September 1999 and October 2010, 181 patients submitted to radical nephroureterectomy were available for evaluation. Multivariate...
متن کاملPreoperative serum pre-albumin as an independent prognostic indicator in patients with localized upper tract urothelial carcinoma after radical nephroureterectomy
PURPOSE To investigate the prognostic value of preoperative pre-albumin and albumin level in patients with localized upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) undergoing radical nephroureterectomy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between January 2003 and June 2013, we evaluated data on 425 patients with nonmetastatic UTUC (Ta-4N0/+M0) who underwent radical nephroureterectomy at our institution. Low pre-a...
متن کاملMethylation level of the RASSF1A promoter is an independent prognostic factor for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Ras association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) is a tumor suppressor that regulates the cell cycle, apoptosis, and microtubule stability. The association between the methylation levels of RASSF1A and the prognosis of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated this relationship to determine the prognostic value of RASSF1A methylation levels for CCR...
متن کاملCytokeratin 20 in Transitional Cell Carcinoma of Bladder and Its Relation with Prognostic Factors
Background and Aims: Immunohistochemical tests are one of the most important tests, which are under study to determine the prognosis of the cancers such as transitional cell carcinoma. By the time, flexible cystoscopy and urine cytology are the routine tests for following up the patients with transitional cell carcinoma, which are both operator dependent. On the other hand, cystoscopy is an inv...
