The Immune Checkpoint Molecule CD200 Is Associated with Tumor Grading and Metastasis in Bladder Cancer.

2018

BACKGROUND We examined the expression of CD200, a ligand of immune tolerance, in transitional cell carcinoma of the human bladder (TCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS CD200 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 90 patients with suspected TCC lesions of the bladder. Expression of CD200 was exemplarily validated by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. RESULTS CD200 was detectable at mRNA and protein levels in TCC homogenate and TCC cell lines (T24, UMUC3). TCC tissues showed significantly higher CD200 expression (p<0.005) than normal bladder tissues. CD200 signals were also higher in metastasized compared to localized TCC (p<0.05). CD200 was …

mRCC Outcome in the Treatment of Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma - A German Single-center Real-world Experience.

2018

Background/Aim: Since the advent of targeted therapeutics, paradigms in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treatment have changed. We investigated if efficacy and safety data from randomized controlled trials can be transferred into real-world settings. Patients and Methods: All patients with mRCC treated from 2006-2015 at the Department of Urology (Marburg-Germany) were retrospectively analyzed. Collected data include: Patient demographics, tumor characteristics, efficacy, safety, and used therapy sequences. Results: In total, 197 patients with mRCC were identified. About one third of patients reached third-line therapy. Median overall survival in real-world amounted to 25.8 months wit…
