Abstract excerpt
What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Sporadic clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) is dominated by nutations of the VHL gene located on chromosome 3p in up to 90% of cases. This gene plays a critical role in hypoxia response, including stimulation of neoangiogenesis. Since 2006, anti-angiogenci therapies targeting this pathway are used in metastatic patients with objective response rate as...
