Univariate analysis could demonstrate including cell growth, cell adhesion, cell differentiation an association with tumor-specific death with decreased and apoptosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the galectin-3 expression, whereas multivariate analysis failed expression of galectin-3 in clear cell renal carcinoma and to prove the aforementioned observation. to assess its prognostic significance. Conclusion Our results suggest that a loss of galectin-3 Methods The expression of galectin-3 was analyzed by expression is involved in renal carcinogenesis. immunohistochemistry in 149 clear cell renal carcinomas.
