Integrated bulk and single-cell transcriptome data identify clinically relevant cell populations in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Renal cell carcinoma,which consists of three main histological subtypes,namely,clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC),papillary RCC(pRCC),and chromophobe RCC(chRCC),accounts for most kidney cancer cases.ccRCC accounts for approximately 85%of all RcC cases,1 and it is a malignant tumor with multiple molecular features and a poor prognosis.Studies have shown that ccRCC is one of the most immune and vaso-invasive cancer types.2 Considering that ccRCC is not sensitive to either radiotherapy or chemotherapy,targeted therapies.
