The Evolution of Angiogenic and Inflamed Tumors: The Renal Cancer Paradigm

Cancer Cell. 2020 Dec 14;38(6):771-773. doi: 10.1016/j.ccell.2020.10.021. Epub 2020 Nov 5.

Abstract

Gene expression analyses have identified subtypes of conventional renal cell carcinoma broadly distributed into angiogenic and proliferative/ immunogenic clades. Integration with genomic and functional experiments in animal models yields an evolutionary model. Evolutionary trajectories illustrate remarkable plasticity, particularly for a tumor that typically begins with inactivation of a single gene.
