Universal point-of-care testing for lynch syndrome in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma
The Journal of Urology Aug 14, 2017
Metcalfe MJ, et al. – In this study, patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma, universal point–of–care testing was assessed.

These outcomes have important implications for universal screening of UTUC, representing one of the highest rates of undiagnosed genetic disease in a urologic cancer.
