Moesin Expression in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequently occurring primary renal neoplasm. There are several histological variants of RCC that are associated with variable prognostic outcomes. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a phenomenon in which the epithelial cells acquire some mesenchymal criteria as enhanced invasive potential. There are several cell surface molecules that are implicated in EMT. Moesin is one of these molecules that is involved in EMT, which is associated with enhanced invasive potential and poor prognosis. Targeting Moesin by novel therapeutic agents may prevent EMT and improve prognosis of patients with RCC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Detection of Moesin in renal cell carcinoma [6 months]
different levels of moesin expression will be correlated with some tumor characteristics as patients' ages, sexes, tumor site, tumor grades, stages and nodal statuses.
