  • There are several different kinds of benign renal tumors, which may originate from a wide range of cell types. (pediagenosis.com)
  • Fat-poor tumors that cannot be confidently distinguished from renal cell carcinoma should also be removed. (pediagenosis.com)
  • Hypoxia is considered a critical contributor to renal cell carcinoma progression, including invasion and metastasis. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The human renal cell carcinoma cell line A498 under hypoxia/normoxia was used as an experimental model in vitro and the biological characteristics and mitochondrial function of the cells were assessed. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The results elucidate a mechanism wherein the solute carrier family 14 member 1 gene participates in the occurrence and development of hypoxia-induced renal cell carcinoma in a mitochondria-dependent manner. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The role of genotyping and ancillary tools, in particular immunohistochemistry, in correctly classifying these tumors is highlighted in the section on Renal Cell Carcinoma. (abdominalkey.com)
  • Succinate dehydrogenase-deficient (SDH-deficient) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of RCC. (sajo.org.za)
  • Succinate dehydrogenase- (SDH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of RCC, estimated to comprise 0.05% - 0.2% of all cases of RCC globally. (sajo.org.za)
  • These are as follows: sustained proliferative signalling, cell death resistance, replicative immortality, genome instability and increased mutations, tumour-promoted inflammation, insensibility to growth repressors, deregulation of cellular energetics, evasion of immune destruction, induction of metastasis, and promotion of angiogenesis.

  • Renal cell carcinoma may remain clinically occult for most of its course. (medscape.com)
  • The tumor extends into the renal vein in 40% of cases. (medscape.com)
  • RCC can trigger thrombus formation in the renal vein, which occasionally propagates into the vena cava. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Tumor invasion of the vein wall is uncommon. (msdmanuals.com)
  • ccRCC has previously been reported to metastasize to normal thyroid tissue ( 7 ) or benign thyroid tumors ( 8 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
  • A 52 year male undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting was incidentally discovered to have a large soft tissue mass of variable consistency with cartilaginous elements arising from the right costal margin and adjoining ribs by a broad attachment and protruding into right pleural cavity. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Histopathology revealed the overall appearances of grade 1 chondrosarcoma with a tumour composed of lobules of cartilage of varying size separated by fibrous tissue (Figure 6 ). (biomedcentral.com)
  • If the tumor cannot be completely removed without damaging vital brain tissue, your doctor may remove as much of the tumor as possible. (intclinics.com)
  • Grossly, the tumors appear well-circumscribed and mahogany brown, with a central stellate scar seen in about one third of cases. (pediagenosis.com)
  • The experienced physicians at UPNT are among the first and most experienced surgeons in the world to perform life-saving robotic surgery to remove kidney tumors. (upnt.com)
  • Source: Journal of Robotic Surgery, Volume 2, Number 3 / September, 2008 Conclusions We report a large, multi-institutional series of RPN for renal tumors, confirming safety and feasibility reported in previous small, single-institution studies. (theroboticsurgeon.com)
  • Benign Tumors That Cause Big Problems:Fortunately, parathyroid tumors can be removed with minimally invasive surgery. (mdanderson.org)
  • The objective of this research was to develop software to assess the potential aggressiveness of an incidentally detected renal mass using images. (ojp.gov)
  • 5 The greatest increase in incidence was noted in small, clinically-localized tumors (i.e. tumors within the kidney with no evidence of local spread, lymph node involvement or distant metastases), now upwards of 40% of all kidney cancers. (ahrq.gov)
