Project description:A total of 3 metastatic and 3 non-metastatic ccRCC tissues were collected from patients. These tissues were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after surgery and subsequently stored at -80℃. All the resected nodules or metastatic masses were identified as renal tumor by pathologic examination. No patients received anticancer treatments before surgery in this study. We analyzed gene expression microarray data from our gene chip with 3 metastatic ccRCC tissues compared with 3 non-metastatic ccRCC tissues.
