Excerpt

The relationship between serum cholesterol level and cancer risk is controversial. Recent studies showed that low preoperative serum cholesterol levels may be associated with worse pathologic outcomes and poor cancer-specific survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma [1, 2]. However, it is unclear whether low serum cholesterol can increase the risk of urologic cancer incidence. We investigated the association between serum total cholesterol and the incidence of kidney and bladder cancer among Korean men using a national cohort sample. …
