Immunohistochemical and molecular genetic profiling of acquired cystic disease‐associated renal cell carcinoma

Abstract

Although the genetic profiles of ACD-associated RCC showed some similarity to those of papillary RCC, ACD-associated RCC distinctly revealed frequent gains on chromosomes 3 and Y. ACD-associated RCC is characterized not only by its particular clinical setting and histology, but also by its unique immunohistochemical and molecular genetic profiles.
