Expression and significance of Cystatin-C in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Cystatin-C (Cys-C) has been studied as a valuable prognostic indicator in several malignancies. The goal of this study is to explore the expression and prognostic significance of Cys-C in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). Immunohistochemistry and western blot assays were performed to evaluate the level of Cys-C expression in CCRCC tissue. Expression levels of Cys-C in CCRCC tissue samples in relation to clinicopathological characteristics...
