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.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2018.06.003

Abstract: Micro‐abstract The predictive value of preoperative albumin–globulin ratio (AGR) in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) still remains uncertain. A retrospective study conducted in our institution demonstrated that low preoperative AGR was an independent predictor of… read more here.
