OBJECTIVE: Early detection and effective evaluation are helpful for renal cancer diagnosis and treatment. NudCD1 and NF-κΒ are abnormally expressed in tumors and inflammations. However, their role in early detection and course evaluation of renal cancer has not been reported.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: The serum of clinically diagnosed renal cancer patients and healthy volunteers (control group) were collected to measure the expressions of NudCD1 and NF-κΒ mRNA by Real time PCR.
RESULTS: NudCD1 and NF-κΒ mRNA in renal cancer patients were significantly upregulated compared to controls (p<0.05). NudCD1 was positively correlated with tumor diameter, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, degree of differentiation, and distant metastasis (p<0.05); whereas, NF-κΒ was positively related to TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis (p<0.05) but not to tumor diameter and differentiation degree. NudCD1 and NF-κΒ were positively correlated. The combined detection improved the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of renal cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: The expression of NudCD1 and NF-κΒ is increased in renal cancer and is correlated with renal cancer clinicopathological characteristics. The combined detection of NudCD1 and NF-κΒ can improve the early diagnosis of kidney cancer.
