Old Drug, New Use! Professor Kan Gong’s Team from Peking University First Hospital Collaborates with International Experts to Propose a Novel Combination Strategy for Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the urinary system, among which approximately 75% are clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Loss of the VHL gene is the key molecular event driving this disease. VHL inactivation places tumor cells in a persistent state of “pseudohypoxia,” continuously activating HIF-2α-centered oncogenic transcriptional programs that promote angiogenesis, cell proliferation, and metabolic reprogramming.
