Purpose To describe the natural history and identify predictors of cancer-specific survival in
patients who experience disease recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for …

Biomarkers that could detect the postoperative recurrence of upper tract urothelial
carcinoma (UTUC) have not been established. In this prospective study, we aim to evaluate …

Objective Several retrospective studies with small cohorts reported neutrophil-to-lymphocyte
ratio (NLR) as a prognostic marker in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) following …

Background To improve the prediction of outcomes in patients who will undergo radical
nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), we examined the …

Preoperative serum albumin has been considered to be closely correlated with the
prognosis of various cancers, including urothelial carcinoma (UC). However, to date, this …

Purpose To identify preoperative risk factors for disease recurrence, following radical
nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), and to create a …

Background Preoperative albumin-globulin ratio (AGR) reflects both malnutrition and
systemic inflammation in cancer patients. In particular, systemic inflammation has been …

and location of all lesions as compared with pathologic review of nephroureterectomy …

Background Oxidative stress plays an important role in the occurrence and development of
malignancy. However, the relationship between oxidative stress and upper urinary tract …
