A Novel Prognostic Stratified System Based on Tumor Budding and the Cell Nest Size in Ureter Urothelial Carcinoma by Jialin Li, Xinyue Li, Jing Yang

“…The results showed that higher tumor budding, cell nest size, and TBNS grading system were strongly related to shorter overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and disease-free survival (DFS). Multivariate survival analysis showed the TBNS grading system to be closely related to the independent prognosis of DFS and DSS. …”
