Biological markers of renal cell carcinoma / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Recent molecular biology studies have shown that some biomarkers may be useful in the diagnosis, prognosis, and evaluation of curative effects of renal cell carcinoma in clinical settings. Some of these biomarkers, including carbonic anhydrase Ⅸ (CA Ⅸ), B7-H1, insulin-like growth factor Ⅱ mRNA-binding protein 3 (IMP3), have been proven to be independent predictors for renal cell carcinoma.
