摘要:
Micro-Abstract Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC) is one of the uncommon malignancies. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the prognostic implication of the preoperative lactate dehydrogenase in 100 UUTUC patients. We found that the preoperative lactate dehydrogenase was an independent prognostic factor for patients with UUTUC. This finding could be of help in clinical practice.
