Article Synopsis
  • This study examined the relationship between carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expressions in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and their impact on patient survival outcomes.
  • Results indicated that higher CAIX expression linked to better disease-specific survival (DSS), while higher VEGF expression was associated with worse outcomes; their inverse correlation was significant.
  • The co-expression of CAIX and VEGF was identified as an independent prognostic factor, allowing for stratification of patients into high-risk, intermediate-risk, and low-risk groups for more precise prognostic information.

Objectives: To identify predictive markers for biochemical failure after radical prostatectomy in patients with clinically confined prostate cancer.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry of bcl-2, p53, Ki-67, and caveolin-1 was performed in samples of paraffin-embedded prostate cancer from 119 Japanese patients. The clinicopathologic significance of staining with these markers was analyzed in relation to biochemical failure (prostate-specific antigen [PSA] >0.

Objectives: To simultaneously analyze multiple biologic markers to identify strong prognostic markers for disease-specific survival of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Methods: The expression of Ki-67, p53, bcl-2, cyclin-D1, caveolin-1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and HER-2 was evaluated in 119 paraffin-embedded ccRCC specimens using immunohistochemistry. The clinical significance of these markers in relation to disease-specific survival was analyzed.
