Brief Summary: The study aim is to prospectively assess the prognostic significance of immunohistochemical markers Geminin and Mcm-2 in cases of renal cell carcinoma and to detect its clinicopathological correlation
Detailed Description: Renal cell carcinoma RCC is one of the most common urological malignancies Approximately 338000 people are diagnosed with RCC worldwide each year representing approximately 2-3 of all cancers

RCC can be classified into non-epithelial and epithelial according to cell origin The four major types are of epithelial origin includes clear cell renal carcinoma ccRCC papillary chromophobe renal carcinoma chRCC and collecting duct carcinoma The most common subtype of RCC is ccRCC which accounts for approximately 70-80 of all renal cell carcinomas

Prognostic factors for RCC can be classified into anatomical histological clinical and molecular factors Anatomical factors include tumor size venous invasion renal capsular invasion adrenal involvement Lymph node and distant metastasis Histological factors include tumour grade RCC subtype sarcomatoid features microvascular invasion tumour necrosis and invasion of the collecting system Clinical factors include performance status local symptoms cachexia anaemia platelet count neutrophillymphocyte ratio C-reactive protein CRP and serum albumin

As regard the molecular factors numerous markers such as carbonic anhydrase IX vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF hypoxia-inducible factor HIF Ki67 PTEN phosphatase and tensin homolog osteopontin and other cell cycle and proliferative markers are being investigated

The efficiency and accuracy of biomarkers studies using immunohistochemical and tissue microarray techniques are still variable and unclear in regards to prognostic significance in patients with renal tumors Multiple biomarkers shown to be significant to assess diagnosis and prognosis in these patients and other were not significant

In the RCC cell cycle minichromosome maintenance 2 Mcm2 Geminin define the proliferative state Investigators are able to determine differential levels of expression of various markers in normal tissue compared with indolent and aggressive tumors Among platforms used in determining the presence of biological markers in surgical pathology specimens immunohistochemistry is perhaps the most commonly available tool in the routine diagnostic laboratory Immunohistochemistry allows detection of antigens expressed on tumor cells hence permitting characterization of the tumor

This study was designed to assess the prognostic significance of Geminin and Mcm-2 in cases of renal cell carcinoma and to assess its clinicopathological correlation
