The diagnostic utility of carbonic anhydrase IX, α-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase, and BSND in classifying renal cell carcinoma: an immunohistochemical study
The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic ability of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX), α-methylacyl-coenzyme A racemase (AMACR), and Bartter-syndrome, type-4a Sensorineural-deafness & renal dysfunction (BSND) expression in differentiating the three main types of RCC – cc-RCC, pp-RCC, and cp-RCC.
Patients and methods: Immunohistochemical expressions of CA IX, AMACR, and BSND were assessed in 50 paraffin blocks from patients with RCC.
Results: CA IX was significantly positive in cases of cc-RCC (P
