Expression of insulin-like growth factor family genes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Abstract: Aim of the studyDespite significant progress in the pathology of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), diagnostic and predictive factors of major importance have not been discovered. Some hopes are associated with insulin-like growth factors. The aim of the study was to compare the expression of genes for insulin-like growth factor family in tumours and in tissue of kidneys without cancer.Material and methodsFifty-two patients years with clear cell renal cell cancer were qualified to the study group; patien… Show more

“…Compared with normal kidney tissue, RCC tissue indicated high expression levels of IGF-1R. 22 IGF-1R activation is considered as prerequisite for malignant transformation. 23 Transgenic overexpression of IGF-1R can induce mammary epithelial hyperplasia and tumor formation in vivo.…”
