BACKGROUND Earlier diagnosis of renal tract cancer could help improve survival so better tools are needed to help this. AIM To derive and validate an algorithm to estimate the absolute risk of renal tract cancer in patients with and without symptoms in primary care. DESIGN Cohort study using data from 375 UK QResearch® general practices for development and 189 for validation. METHOD Incl...

Early detection of renal dysfunction can help clinicians plan optimal treatment strategies to manage the underlying cause, such as a paraneoplastic syndrome or tumor lysis syndrome. Effective management improve overall clinical outcomes lung cancer patient.

conclusions the pattern of pretreatment with o2 could change this potential and highly protective strategy against cp-induced nephropathy to an ineffective or even mildly deteriorating one. therefore, o2 administration before cp injection to patients with cancer, for therapeutic purposes or as a preconditioning approach, should be performed and investigated with caution until exact effects of d...

INTRODUCTION Renal cancer is a complex and multifactorial oncourologic disease. OBJECTIVE To conduct a meta-analysis in order to investigate the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes null polymorphisms in renal cancer. METHOD Case-control studies in humans, published from 1999 to 2013, that investigated the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes null polymorphisms in renal cancer were grouped ...

We report a 52-year-old male with no family history of colonic cancer, who was found to have advanced colonic cancer with metastases two months post renal transplantation. With this case, we highlight the possibility of acute fulminant cancer metastases within short period after renal transplantation and the importance of periodic colorectal cancer screening pre-transplant. To our knowledge, th...

Cancer cells are characterized by an aberrant increase in protein N-glycosylation and by disruption of E-cadherin-mediated adherens junctions. However, the relationship between alterations in N-glycosylation process and loss of E-cadherin adhesion in cancer remains unclear. The mechanisms of altered expression of adhesive glycoproteins in cancer cells have not been fully elucidated. Thus, the a...

In numerous types of cancer, the Ras-associated tumor suppressor gene aplasia Ras homolog member I (ARHI), is downregulated. However, the function of ARHI in renal cancer remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated whether the suppressor gene ARHI influenced the growth of renal cancer cell lines and aimed to elucidate its mechanism of action, using the techniques of cell biology an...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the major cause of kidney malignancy-related deaths. Rho GTPases are key regulators in cancer cell metastasis. ARHGAP24, a Rac-specific member of the Rho GTPase-activating protein family, acts as a functional target of cancer cell migration and invasion. In the present study, we identified ARHGAP24 expression is downregulated in renal cancer tissues and is highly c...
