Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C in renal cell carcinoma and its correlation with pathological parameters and prognosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system. This study aimed to analyze the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) in RCC and its relationship with pathological parameters and prognosis.

Methods

The clinical data of 68 patients who underwent surgical treatment and confirmed to be RCC by pathology from February 2012 to January 2014 were collected. The specimens of carcinoma tissues of the 68 patients were collected, among which 20 patients were collected from normal tissue specimens adjacent to the cancer more than 5 cm away from the tumor as controls. The VEGF-C expression level was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationship between VEGF-C expression and clinical pathological parameters and prognos
