AI Article Synopsis
- Metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) usually targets the lung, liver, bone, adrenal, and brain, but this report details a rare case of a 76-year-old man with a solitary sternal metastasis as the first sign of clear-cell RCC.
- Recent advancements in new treatments, surgery, and ablative techniques have changed the way metastatic kidney cancer is managed over the past decade.
- The Carmena study indicates that sunitinib alone is as effective as the combination of nephrectomy and sunitinib, leading to the patient's transfer to oncology for targeted medical treatment.
Article Abstract
Usual location of metastasis are in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) the lung, liver, bone, adrenal and brain. Here we report on an unusual case of a 76-year-old male with a solitary sternal metastasis as an initial presentation of clear-cell RCC. The management of metastatic kidney cancer has been disrupted over the last decade by the emergence of new treatments and the progress of surgery and ablative techniques. the Carmena study suggests that sunitinib alone is not inferior to the NCR followed by sunitinib, the patient has therefore been transferred to oncology for medical treatment (targeted therapy).

Renorrhaphy is often performed after tumor resection during robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This study aimed to investigate the association between renorrhaphy performance and inflammatory markers. A retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients with renal cell carcinoma who underwent RAPN at eight institutions in Japan between April 2016 and November 2023.

Background/aim: α1-Acid glycoprotein (AGP), also known as orosomucoid, is an acute-phase protein that has been found increased in plasma of cancer patients. This study investigates the role of AGP expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and its association with clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: We investigated the correlation between AGP levels and the prognosis of ccRCC through an analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database.

B cell immunity carries the inherent risk of deviating into autoimmunity and malignancy, which are both strongly associated with genetic variants or alterations that increase immune signaling. Here, we investigated the interplay of autoimmunity and lymphoma risk factors centered around the archetypal negative immune regulator TNFAIP3/A20 in mice. Counterintuitively, B cells with moderately elevated sensitivity to stimulation caused fatal autoimmune pathology, while those with high sensitivity did not.

Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN).
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of 22 patients diagnosed with primary IgAN who received RTX treatment. The clinical data, including blood tests, urine examinations and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), were analyzed at four time point: baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.

Depleted uranium (DU) is a byproduct of uranium enrichment, which can cause heavy-metal toxicity and radiation toxicity as well as serious damage to the kidneys. However, the mechanism of renal injury induced by DU is still unclear. This study aimed to explore the role of ethylmalonic encephalopathy 1 (ETHE1) in DU-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
