Does overexpression of microRNA-100 predict an unfavorable prognosis in renal cell carcinoma?
Our data offer convincing evidence that miR-100 overexpression strongly associates with advanced tumor progression and unfavorable clinical outcome of patients with RCC. miR-100 expression may be a useful prognostic marker for this disease.
In conclusion, our results strongly suggest that combination usage of Nimotuzumab and rapamycin exert higher cytotoxic activities than TMZ. Our data suggest that this combination may provide an alternative treatment for TMZ-resistant gliomas regardless of the EGFR status.
