Microscopical examination of the kidneys of patients with sickle-cell disease subjected to nephrectomy has revealed changes occurring principally in the area of the medulla. The changes included ...

From the recently collected papillary calculi, four patients with chronic stone formation requiring retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) were selected. All these patients have previously spontaneously ...

The increased use of imaging has led to more frequent detection of small renal masses (SRMs), often prompting percutaneous ...

To the Editor: Linehan et al. (Jan. 14 issue) 1 report on a comprehensive molecular characterization of papillary renal-cell carcinomas, and they describe three individual subgroups of type 2 ...

Primary cilia are specialized cellular organelles that project from the apical surface of almost all nondividing or interphase mammalian cells. They are thought to function in sensing various ...

New findings shows that a non-clear cell form of kidney cancer known as papillary RCC, which accounts for 12 percent of all RCC, responds differently to sunitinib -- a standard frontline treatment for ...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the 10 most commonly diagnosed solid tumors. Most RCCs are histologically defined as clear cell, comprising approximately 75% of diagnoses. However, the remaining ...

Treatment with an investigational MET inhibitor plus a PD-L1 inhibitor induced responses in fewer than a third of patients with metastatic papillary renal cancer, but the combination showed promise ...

Compared with type I, papillary RCC type II more frequently carries unfavorable tumor characteristics. Papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) type II subtype appears to be more unfavorable and ...

Mobilized Peripheral Blood Stem Cells Versus Unstimulated Bone Marrow As a Graft Source for T-Cell–Replete Haploidentical Donor Transplantation Using Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide Patients with ...

Background The objective of this study is to determine in a case series (four patients) how calcified deposits in renal papillae are associated with the development of calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM ...
