Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is rare. Evidence shows that it behaves differently from urothelial bladder tumors. A polymorphism located at the T allele of rs9642880 on chromosome 8q24 is linked to an enhanced risk of bladder tumors. We explored the association of this polymorphism with susceptibility to upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We genotyped the...
