Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the commonest type of kidney cancer, is a highly metastatic and the deadliest of all urologic cancers. Despite the development of many novel chemotherapeutics in recent years, metastatic RCC remains an incurable and lethal disease. The imperative for the identification of novel molecular targets and more effective therapeutics for metastatic RCC remain. One promising...

BACKGROUND Nutrients related to one-carbon metabolism were previously shown to be significantly associated with the risk of cancer. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate potential relationships between one-carbon metabolic factors and renal cell cancer (RCC) risk. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched through March 2015 for observational studies of quant...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common neoplasm of the adult kidney. The role of the von-Hippel-Lindeau (VHL) tumour suppressor gene is well established in RCC with a loss of VHL protein leading to accumulated hypoxia-induced factor (HIF) and the subsequent transcriptional activation of multiple downstream targets. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to be differentially express...

Background and Objective FBXW7, known as a general tumor suppressor, is commonly lowly expressed in metastatic malignancies. We aim to investigate the potential influence of FBXW7 overexpression on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis. Methods We employed quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting (WB) to quantify the FBXW7 expression in RCC cell lines. Upregulation of FBXW7 w...

We aimed to present a case report of bladder metastasis in patient with renal cell cancer (RCC), which is very rare condition. Bladder metastases from RCC are extremely rare. can metastasize through hematogenous, lymphogenous and urinary tract spread. How metastasizes the not clearly understood. Dissemination or also called antegrade pathway another form ureter bladder. This theory was original...

Bowel intussusception is rare in adults and usually driven by an underlying pathological process affecting the bowel. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) most common type of kidney cancer its disease course, depending on initial histology stage, can metastasize to adrenal glands, lungs, bones, brains contralateral that be challenging follow. We present case a patient with history radical left nephrectom...

Few analytical epidemiological studies have investigated family history (FH) of urinary tract cancers as a potential risk factor for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A population-based case-control study involving 550 non-Asian RCC patients 25 to 74 years of age and an equal number of sex-, age-, and race-matched neighborhood controls was conducted in Los Angeles, California. Detailed information on...

This study was done to analyze the clinical characteristics of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Korean patients with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. Between January 1996 and July 2008, 1,514 patients were diagnosed with RCC and 24 patients were diagnosed with VHL disease at our institute. We analyzed the clinical characteristics of the 24 patients diagnosed with VHL. The mean age of patients with...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common kidney malignancy with poor prognosis. Recently, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated as important regulators in multiple cancers including RCC. LOC653786 is a lncRNA, but its role in cancer remains unclear. In this study, we for the first time found that LOC653786 was upregulated in RCC tissues and cell lines, and this lncRNA promot...

Insulin and IGFs play a significant role in cancer development and progression, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RCC is the most frequent type of kidney cancer in adults and the tenth most common malignancy worldwide. Insulin is normally associated with metabolism control, whereas IGFs are defined as proliferation regulators. Today, there is convincing evidence of an association between ob...
