Abstract:The renal cell cancer stem cells determine the growth and proliferation of renal cell carcinoma. So far some possible markers have been identified in renal cell carcinoma, including octamer binding factor 4 (Oct4), CD133, CD105, ATPbinding cassette subfamily B member 1 transporter gene (ABCB1), CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4), but these markers are still controversial. Therefore, for the more effective treatments of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, studying a generally applicable marker for renal cell carcinoma is necessary.
