Elevated preoperative plasma fibrinogen level is an independent predictor of malignancy and advanced stage disease in patients with bladder urothelial tumors

Abstract

Elevated preoperative plasma fibrinogen level is an independent predictor of malignancy as well as advanced-stage carcinoma in patients with bladder urothelial tumors, suggesting that plasma fibrinogen may be a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for bladder tumors.
