The prognostic significance of vasohibin-1 expression in patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.
PURPOSE Vasohibin-1 (VASH1) is a novel angiogenic molecule that is specifically expressed in activated vascular endothelial cells, and the status of VASH1 expression has been documented in cancer angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to address the prognostic value of VASH1 expression in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We retrospectively analyzed the cl...
متن کاملExpression of Phospho-ELK1 and Its Prognostic Significance in Urothelial Carcinoma of the Upper Urinary Tract
Using preclinical models, we have recently found that ELK1, a transcriptional factor that activates downstream targets, including c-fos proto-oncogene, induces bladder cancer outgrowth. Here, we immunohistochemically determined the expression status of phospho-ELK1, an activated form of ELK1, in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC). Overall, phospho-ELK1 was positive in 47 (47.5%; 3...
متن کاملExpression of snail in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma: prognostic significance and implications for tumor invasion.
PURPOSE There are few molecular markers known to predict upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC) prognosis. Snail, which contributes to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), has been documented in cancer progression, but not clear yet in UTUC. We therefore addressed the expression and biological significance of Snail in UTUC. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To elucidate the biological signifi...
متن کاملThe systemic inflammation-based Glasgow Prognostic Score as a powerful prognostic factor in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma
Introduction and Objective The combination of C-reactive protein and albumin, the Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), had independent prognostic value in patients with varying cancers, except for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between GPS and survival in patients with UTUC after adjustment for other prognostic factors. Materials and...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of sarcopenia in upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy
We investigated the prognostic significance of sarcopenia in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated from computed tomography images. Sarcopenia was defined as SMI <43 cm(2) /m(2) for males with body mass index <25 kg/m(2) , <53 cm(2) /m(2) for males with BMI ≥25 kg/m(2) , and <41 cm(2) /m(2) ...
