Purpose: The purpose of this guideline is to provide a clinical framework for follow-up of
clinically localized renal neoplasms undergoing active surveillance, or following definitive …

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are non-coding RNAs, approximately 22 nucleotides in length, which
function as post-transcriptional regulators. A large body of evidence indicates that miRNAs …

The mechanisms involved in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development and progression
remain unclear, and new biomarkers for early detection, follow-up of the disease and …

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to find a novel molecular network involved in renal cell
carcinoma (RCC) development through investigating the functions of miR-1 and miR-133a …

Subtypes of renal tumors have different genetic backgrounds, prognoses, and responses to
surgical and medical treatment, and their differential diagnosis is a frequent challenge for …

Recently, many studies have suggested that micro RNA s (mi RNA s) are involved in cancer
cell development, invasion, and metastasis of various types of human cancers. In a previous …

Epigenetic alterations play an important role in carcinogenesis. Recent studies have
suggested that global histone modifications are predictors of cancer recurrence in various …

BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the sixth leading cause of death in
developed countries. A third of all RCC patients are confronted with metastatic disease …

AIM: Cytoreductive nephrectomy is considered beneficial in patients with metastasised
kidney cancer but only a minority of these patients undergo cytoreductive surgery. Factors …

BACKGROUND: The role of microsatellite alterations in surgically excised tumors in
predicting the prognosis of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains …
