Global analysis of metastasis‐associated gene expression in primary cultures from clinical specimens of clear‐cell renal‐cell carcinoma
10 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
Metastatic clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has a poor prognosis and unpredictable course, and there are no molecular markers that reliably predict ccRCC metastasis. In this study, ccRCC specimens from 84 patients were directly cultured in vitro. Primary cultures from 38 of 94 specimens contained more than 90% tumor cells at the fourth passage. After identification by immunostaining, the primary cultures...
