In conclusion, our study presented the factors regarding the prognosis of RCC patients, and high platelet and neutrophil counts, low lymphocytes, and VEGF -2578C/A and -1154G/A polymorphisms were shown to be independent factors for a lower prognosis of RCC patients.
We investigated the associations of three polymorphisms (-2578C/A, -1154G/A, and -634C/G) in the VEGF gene with the clinicopathologic parameters and survival of 213 patients with RCC.
