Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a histologically diverse disease, with variable and often unpredictable clinical behavior. Gene expression profiling is a promising technique for refining the diagnosis and staging of RCC, as well as for highlighting potential therapeutic targets (1).

Keywords: renal cell carcinoma, gene expression, prognosis, immunotherapy, check-points inhibitors.
