Molecular profiles and urinary biomarkers of upper tract urothelial carcinomas associated with aristolochic acid exposure

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 374-386, 15 January 2022., 2022
Abstract Recurrent upper tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUCs) arise in the context of nephropathy linked to exposure to the herbal carcinogen aristolochic acid (AA). Here we delineated the molecular programs underlying UTUC tumorigenesis in patients from endemic aristolochic acid nephropathy (AAN) regions in Southern Europe.
