How can you use “rcca” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Renal cell carcinoma (RCCa) samples were collected from patients undergoing radical nephrectomy at the University of Michigan Medical Center.

  • In order to understand the molecular differences between Chr and CC RCCa on a broader scale, we developed a gene categorization system ("Functional Taxonomy," see Methods) in which genes were hierarchically grouped according to the cellular function of their protein products.

  • Pathology reports on these samples revealed that these were not RCCa samples but instead patient 20 was a papillary urothelial carcinoma and the sample from patient 18 was not a carcinoma but a benign metanephric adenoma.

  • The genes CA 9 ( carbonic anhydrase IX ), CCND1 ( cyclin D1 ), CDH2 ( N-Cadherin ), EGFR ( epidermal growth factor receptor ) and TGFA ( tranforming growth factor alpha ) all showed increases in CC expression that matched the literature and had p-values ≤ 0.0061 [ 11 12 13 14 15 ] . The observed decrease in CDH1 ( E-cadherin ) in CC (p-value = 0.0045) also matched previously published reports, as did the decrease in VIM ( vimentin ) expression in Chr RCCa [ 13 16 ] . VIM was also found to be increased in CC with a p-value = 0.0045, which was consistent with the literature.

  • The prevalence of the scattered T cells within the CC tumors was somewhat surprising, but entirely consistent with the biology of response to a treatment for RCCa, interleukin 2 (IL-2), since IL-2 activates lymphocytes against the tumor [ 23 ] .
