DOI: 10.1007/s00261-019-02293-9
Abstract: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a common and lethal malignancy. Patients diagnosed with this illness often face invasive workups, morbid therapies, and prolonged post-operative surveillance. UTUC represents approximately 5–10% of urothelial malignancies in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00262-021-02890-y
Abstract: Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is relatively rare in Western countries. The impact of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on UTUC remains unclear because previous studies have focused on bladder UC. We investigated the association… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11255-017-1613-z
Abstract: PurposeRecently, several studies have shown that the De Ritis ratio (aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase) can be a useful prognostic biomarker for certain types of malignant tumors. However, the prognostic value of the De Ritis ratio in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13193-018-0807-x
Abstract: While pelvic lymphadenectomy during radical cystectomy for bladder cancer is a well-established standard of care, the same does not hold true for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Indeed, a template-based lymphadenectomy is rarely, if ever,… read more here.
