Novel Prognostic Markers in Renal Cancer: a Protocol for the Analysis of Paraffin Embedded Tumour Samples

The purpose of this project is to analyze tumour tissue from a group of subjects with renal cell carcinoma, who have been treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

Renal cancers have different clinical outcomes. The principal research objective is to study tumour tissue from renal cancer patients and try and understand why some cancers progress more rapidly than others. Further, another key aim of this study is to try and understand why some patients respond to treatment and others do not.
