Renal cell carcinoma accounts for 2%-3% of all malignancies in adults. It spreads via direct extension, lymphatic route as well as haematogenous route. Lymph nodes, lungs, bone, liver and brain are the usual sites for its metastatic spread. In the presence of limited metastatic disease with potentially resectable metastases, surgery offers the best chances of cure. In the present case, we describe a case of renal cell carcinoma with a solitary metastasis to the sigmoid mesentery in a patient with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. There was no retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy or tumour thrombus in the renal vein. The patient was managed with laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and excision of the sigmoid mesentery mass. At 6 months of follow-up, there is no evidence of recurrent disease.

Urinary obstruction causes injury to the renal medulla, impairing the ability to concentrate urine, and increasing the risk of progressive kidney disease. However, the regenerative capacity of the renal medulla after reversal of obstruction is poorly understood. To investigate this, we developed a mouse model of reversible urinary obstruction.

Complement C3 of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles promotes metastasis of RCC via recruitment of immunosuppressive myeloid cells.

Heterogeneous roles of complement C3 have been implicated in tumor metastasis and are highly context dependent. However, the underlying mechanisms linking C3 to tumor metastasis remain elusive in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Here, we demonstrate that C3 of RCC cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) contributes to metastasis via polarizing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into the immunosuppressive phenotype and recruiting polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs).

The current study examined the underlying mechanism and the effect of 1,3-thiazin-6-one on the growth of renal cancer. The findings showed that 1,3-thiazin-6-one treatment inhibited the growth of xenograft tumors in a dose-dependent manner in mice model of renal cancer. Furthermore, when 1,3-thiazin-6-one was administered in a dose-dependent manner to mice with renal cancer, the expression of the proteins p-PI3K and p-Akt significantly decreased.
