pubmed:abstractText
The use of a non-toxic tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor, Imatinib Mesylate (IM), has become an ever-more common therapeutic alternative in some Kit (CD117) over-expressing neoplasms. As the treatment eligibility for these drugs hinges on CD117 expression, Kit immunostaining has recently been widely examined in various tumours. There are only limited data in the literature on the expression of c-kit expression in Wilms' Tumour. We examined CD117 expression in Wilms' tumour in order to correlate this marker with clinico-pathological data and to clarify its prognostic impact.
