Patterns of Expression of H2S-Producing Enzyme in Human Renal Cell Carcinoma Specimens: Potential Avenue for Future Therapeutics
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of the differential increase in expression of CSE, CBS, and MPST in human RCC. Although these patterns do not appear to correlate with cancer recurrence, metastasis, size or nuclear grade, their differential increase suggests a potential therapeutic target. (Source: In Vivo)

Rare Case of Renal-type Clear Cell Carcinoma of the Prostate and Review of the Literature
Conclusion: This was a case of RTCCC arising in the prostate. RTCCC of the prostate is extremely rare and shows very similar histological and immunohistochemical features to those of CCC occurring in the kidney. Pathologists should be aware of such an entity whenever they see clear cells in urinary tract malignancies. (Source: In Vivo)
