Is expression profile of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract associated with disease recurrence in patients undergoing nephroureterectomy?
These findings suggest that expression profiles of E-cadherin and N-cadherin, particularly the gain of N-cadherin rather than loss of E-cadherin expression, in UC-UUT appeared to be significantly associated with disease recurrence after nephroureterectomy.
The results support the null hypothesis. The conclusions are limited to the resolution of the technology employed and to the flight envelopes and +Gz exposure in the current generation of fighter aircraft.
