Research from Seoul National University, Department of Urology provides new data on renal cell carcinoma prognosis

Research findings, 'Expression of bone morphogenetic proteins, the subfamily of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, in renal cell carcinoma,' are discussed in a new report. "We investigated the potential expression of bone morphogenetic proteins, including bone morphogenetic protein-4, 6 and 7, the largest subfamily of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, in patients with renal cell carcinoma and identified its potential prognostic value in terms of clinical outcome. Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin sections for bone morphogenetic protein was performed in 185 cases of renal cell carcinoma using a streptavidin-peroxidase procedure," investigators in Seoul,...
