Published: July 2003

Objective: We present a case of clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) in 53-year-old white man who was treated with surgery. This case represents the oldest patient with CCSK published in the English literature.

Methods: Right radical nephrectomy with lymphadenectomy and thrombectomy was performed.

Results: Histological findings indicated a CCSK. Tumor cells showed positive vimentin staining.

Conclusion: CCSK is considered a rare and highly malignant renal tumor. The malignant nature may relate not only to the biological features of these tumor cells, but also to the high resistance against radiation and chemotherapy. The treatment of CCSK has been a subject of controversy.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has a high incidence rate and poor prognosis, and currently lacks effective therapies. Recently, peptide-based drugs have shown promise in cancer treatment. In this research, a new endogenous peptide called CBDP1 was discovered in ccRCC and its potential anti-cancer properties were examined.

The process of viral entry into host cells is crucial for the establishment of infection and the determination of viral pathogenicity. A comprehensive understanding of entry pathways is fundamental for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Standard techniques for investigating viral entry include confocal microscopy and flow cytometry, both of which provide complementary qualitative and quantitative data.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is a prevalent urological malignancy, imposing substantial burdens on both patients and society. In our study, we used bioinformatics methods to select four putative target genes associated with EMT and prognosis and developed a nomogram model which could accurately predicting 5-year patient survival rates. We further analyzed proteome and single-cell data and selected PLCG2 and TMEM38A for the following experiments.
