RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Proteomic signatures of clear cell renal cell carcinoma

In recent years, the molecular view of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has been based primarily on gene transcription data with limited information on protein features. A new study led by the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium now offers a comprehensive view of the ccRCC proteome.
