Background: Establishment of sister chromatid cohesion N-acetyltransferase 1 (ESCO1) plays an important role in mitosis and is involved in tumor progression of human bladder and prostate cancer. However, its pathological effects on renal cell cancer (RCC) remain unknown. Here, we aimed to assess the impact of ESCO1 down-regulation in RCC cells and explore its role as potential prognosis biomarker for RCC.
Methods: This is a retrospective study. Tumor samples from 263 RCC patients were collected, and survival data were analyzed to detect the relationship between ESCO1 expression and patient survival. For mechanistic exploration, the impact of silence ESCO1 on proliferation, migration and apoptosis were studied in ESCO1-knockdown RCC cells.
Results: Significantly over-expression of ESCO1 was observed in renal tumor tissues. ESCO1 expression was related to the malignant degree and a high expression was associated with unfavorable prognosis in RCC patients. Moreover, down-regulation of ESCO1 attenuated cell proliferation and migration. The flow cytometry assay revealed that the knockdown of ESCO1 inhibited RCC cells from entering the G1 phase.
Conclusions: The increased ESCO1 expression in renal tumor tissues might be a useful biomarker for prognosis of RCC patients. Knockdown of ESCO1 undermined proliferation, migration of renal cancer cells, and induced the apoptosis of renal cancer cells.

CDK7 has emerged as a cancer target because of its pivotal roles in cell cycle progression and transcription. Several CDK7 inhibitors (CDK7i) are now in clinical evaluation. Identifying patients most likely to respond to treatment and early detection of tumour evolution towards resistance are necessary for optimal implementation of cancer therapies.

To explore the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC), including a rare case with the TPM1-ALK gene subtype. Three cases of ALK-rearranged RCC diagnosed in the Department of Pathology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China from January 2020 to December 2024 were collected. Their clinical pathological and next-generation sequencing (NGS) data were analyzed.

Background And Objective: Surgery of renal cell cancer (RCC) with a caval thrombus (CT) is associated with significant morbidity, particularly regarding thromboembolic complications. There are no data or recommendations regarding the potential benefit of preoperative anticoagulants. We aimed to assess the usefulness of preoperative anticoagulation regarding surgical outcomes and thromboembolic events in patients undergoing nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a malignant tumor, originating from the renal epithelium, and accounts for ~85% of RCC cases. The present study aimed to validate the efficacy of an MRI deep learning (DL) model to preoperatively predict the pathological grading of ccRCC. Therefore, a DL algorithm was constructed and trained using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) sequence images.

Locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents significant therapeutic challenges, particularly in resource-limited settings with restricted access to new therapies. This report describes a new exploratory multimodal therapeutic approach for a patient with locally advanced clear cell RCC (ccRCC) with adrenal and lymph node metastases. A 45-year-old woman presented with an incidentally discovered 9-cm mass in the left kidney, which was later diagnosed as grade-2 ccRCC with adrenal and lymph node involvement.
