摘要: Expression of the mucin-like adhesion molecule CD24 has been implicated in progression several types cancer and identified as new prognostic factor. We evaluated expression 268 consecutive cases upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma with respect to associations tumour stage, grade, angioinvasion infiltrative growth pattern using a tissue microarray technique correlated data patient outcome. was demonstrated 161/259 (62%) evaluable tumours associated high stage [77/139 (55%) pTa/pT1 vs 84/120 (70%) pT2–pT4; P = 0.02] grade [68/139 (49%) low 93/120 (78%) grade; 1 [P < 0.001, risk ratio (RR) 5.87, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.88–11.95] (P RR 3.30, CI 1.75–6.22) only independent predictors metastatic disease. In conclusion, is advanced well histopathological features indicative aggressive behaviour, but it lacks impact on
