Summary
This study details two pediatric clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) cases, highlighting diagnostic challenges and the role of BCL6 gene expression in identifying this rare renal tumor.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Oncology
- Molecular Pathology
- Renal Tumors
Background:
- Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is a rare, aggressive pediatric renal tumor.
- CCSK presents diagnostic challenges, often being misdiagnosed as nephroblastoma.
- Its aggressive nature necessitates accurate and timely diagnosis for effective treatment.

01:03Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer
Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

01:20The Retinoblastoma Gene
Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
