Ichiyanagi O et al. Clin Genitourin Cancer. 2018 June 8. doi: 10.1016/j.clgc.2018.06.002.

Publish date:: June 23, 2018

Key clinical point: Protein activation levels of the 4EBP1/eIF4E axis may predict renal cell carcinoma recurrence.

Major finding: Strong protein activation of the 4EBP1/eIF4E axis may be linked to early recurrence of renal cell carcinoma.

Study details: Retrospective cohort study in 303 patients with localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Disclosures: The study was supported by Yamagata University Faculty of Medicine and the Japan Society for Promotion of Science. No conflicts of interest were declared.
