“…Obvious heterogeneity between studies was observed when we included all eligible studies. Consistently, through meta-regression analysis and creation of a Galbraith plot, we observed that the study of Roupret et al (18), which was the only study that included UTUC patients as case group, was the main source of heterogeneity. The degree of heterogeneity significantly decreased after this study was excluded.…”

“…We have recently reported that the variant allele SULT1A1*2, which results in reduced sulfotransferase activity, enhances the risk of UUTTCCs [36]. Sulfation is an important step in the detoxification of many environmental chemicals, but also in the bioactivation of dietary and other mutagens.…”

“…Environmental carcinogens and smoking are the most important etiological factors. Furthermore, the polymorphism reducing the activity of sulfotransferase which triggers the development of UTUC is the only genetic etiological factor described in the literature (4). Histopathologically, these tumors are classified similar to bladder cancers as carcinoma in situ (CIS), lowgrade and high-grade.…”
