2. 1. Molecular Markers and Hypoxia in Renal Cell Carcinoma

   Author : Roger de Alwis; Avdelningen för translationell cancerforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kidney cancer; CTC; RCC; Hypoxia; SEMA5B; Prognostic markers;

   Abstract : Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are a group of tumours that arise from the nephron within the kidney. They are characterised by an indolent growth pattern and do not display overt clinical symptoms in patients with early to locally advanced tumours. READ MORE

   Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a common malignancy worldwide, affects 1200 new patients yearly in Sweden. Metastatic RCC (mRCC) develops in one in three and is commonly incurable. Clear cell histology dominates followed by papillary histology. READ MORE

5. 3. Molecular genetic aspects of renal cell carcinoma development

   Author : Andrei Alimov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Kidney tumor; RCC; LOH; CGH; SKY; PTEN; chromosome 3p; chromosome 10q; chromosome 14q;

   Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common tumor of the renal parenchyma. The aim of this study was to further characterize known as well as new genetic abnormalities in a clinical material of RCC, as well as in established cell lines to gain more information about etiological and progression factors.

   Abstract : Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a malignancy of the human kidney, occurring most commonly during the seventh and eighth decades of life. The incidence is high in the Nordic countries and the five year survival is 40-50%. Smoking is a risk factor inferring a minor increase in risk. The best established risk factor is obesity.

   Abstract : Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α in Renal Cell Carcinoma Departments of Surgical and Perioperative Sciences, Urology and Andrology; Radiation Sciences, Oncology; Medical Biosciences, Pathology; and Medical Biosciences, Clinical Chemistry, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for approximately 2-3% of all human cancers. A distinguished feature of RCC is vascularisation and among the three dominating RCC types conventional RCC (cRCC) generally is more vascularised than papillary RCC (pRCC) and chromophobe RCC (chRCC).
