Increased expression of caveolin‐1 and microvessel density correlates with metastasis and poor prognosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Abstract

Increased expression of caveolin-1 and MVD is associated with metastasis and a worse prognosis in clear cell RCC. Caveolin-1 expression is correlated with MVD. These results suggest that caveolin-1 may be important in the progression of clear cell RCC and angiogenesis may be affected by caveolin-1 during the progression of RCC.
