Bimodal pattern of the impact of body mass index on cancer-specific survival of upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients

To clarify how body mass index (BMI) affects the risk of death from upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC) we investigated the impact of BMI on UUTUC using a Japanese multicenter database. Between January 1995 and December 2010, 1,329 patients with upper urinary tract tumors were treated i...

Description
Summary:To clarify how body mass index (BMI) affects the risk of death from upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC) we investigated the impact of BMI on UUTUC using a Japanese multicenter database. Between January 1995 and December 2010, 1,329 patients with upper urinary tract tumors were treated in 13 institutions in Japan. From this group, a cohort of 1,014 patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy was retrospectively reviewed. BMI was categorized into the following three groups: BMI
