Origin of renal cell carcinomas [PDF]
[Abstract] Cancer is a heritable disorder of somatic cells: environment and heredity are both important in the carcinogenic process. The primal force is the “two hits” of Knudson’s hypothesis, which has proved true for many tumours, including renal cell ...

Effect of Cyclooxygenase(COX)-1 and COX-2 inhibition on furosemide-induced renal responses and isoform immunolocalization in the healthy cat kidney [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The role of cyclooxygenase(COX)-1 and COX-2 in the saluretic and renin-angiotensin responses to loop diuretics in the cat is unknown. We propose in vivo characterisation of isoform roles in a furosemide model by administering non-steroidal ...

Sarcomatoid Collecting Duct Carcinoma
Abstract Background.—Collecting duct carcinoma has recently been recognized as a distinct entity among renal cell carcinomas and shows aggressive clinical behavior. Design.—A fatal case of collecting duct carcinoma with sarcomatoid features in an 80-year-old man is described, and the results of immunohistochemistry and ...
