Although RT-PCR and DNA sequencing are the final diagnoses of the molecular identity of Xp11.2 translocation RCC, experienced pathologists could confirm the histologic diagnosis based on the distinctive morphologic features with positive TFE3 immunochemical nuclear stain. Surgical resection is the only treatment. The role of systemic therapy for local recurrence and metastasis remains to be determined.

² With the growing popularity of cellular phones, using cellular signaling data to collect traffic information has become an attractive technique to replace VDs (Vehicle Detectors). However, most previous studies have focused on GSM network instead of the ongoing UMTS due to some special properties in UMTS. In this paper, a passive framework with multiple handover pattern exploring and traffic information estimating strategy is proposed to fit characteristics of UMTS signaling data. Experiments from real-time UMTS signals result in a mean relative error around 14% to the information collected from VDs.

In this paper, we analyze the operational UMTS handover logs. The analysis result shows UMTS handover logs possessing more severe cell oscillation phenomenon compared to GSM. To eliminate the effect of cell oscillation phenomenon, we propose an approach to estimate the traffic state using UMTS handover logs. An experiment on a 12km road segment of Sun Yat-sen Freeway in Taiwan was conducted to verify the feasibility of our proposed approach. The experiment showed that every time a slowdown happened, a speed decreasing could be detected. Also, the estimation differences between the proposed approach and fix vehicle detection (VD) systems were less than 20kmph (km per hour) in 76% of the measurements, which proves that UMTS handover logs qualifies for traffic state estimation.
