27 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
AIM: We conducted this study to identify gene promoter methylation status and clinical predictors for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients. MATERIALS & METHODS: Using methylation-sensitive PCR, we examined ten genes promoter methylation status in 687 UTUC patients. RESULTS: A methylated promoter of three genes to predict higher tumor stage (T3 and T4), five genes to predict higher tumor grade (G3) and...
