Leptin expression is substantially correlated with prognosis of urinary bladder carcinoma
This study examined leptin expression in cases of bladder cancer and its diagnostic and prognostic usefulness in bladder malignancies. A set of 128 urinary bladder cancer cases and 24 normal specimens of bladders were employed for an immunohistochemical investigation of leptin expression in tissue m...
