Increased insulin mRNA binding protein-3 expression correlates with vascular enhancement of renal cell carcinoma by intravenous contrast-CT and is associated with bone metastasis

Purpose: To: 1) assess the correlation between CT vascularity and a candidate molecular marker of RCC metastasis (insulin-like mRNA binding protein-3 (IMP3)); and 2) demonstrate the differential expression of IMP3 in high vs. low vascular tumors. Experimental design: Retrospectively obtained contras...
