pubmed-article:12831943 | pubmed:abstractText | The aim of the study was to characterize the metabolic changes in non-weight-losing patients with cancer of the bladder and to investigate the effect of tumor stage. The kinetics of glucose, glycerol, and urea metabolism were assessed in 22 weight-stable patients with non-metastatic bladder cancer (tumor stage p </= T2, n = 8; tumor stage p > T2, n = 14) and 10 patients with benign uterine myoma (controls). | lld:pubmed |
