The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of phosphorylated 4EBP1 (p4EBP1) in primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as a biomarker in metastatic RCC (mRCC) and non-mRCC cohorts. Primary tumor tissue from 254 non-mRCC and 60 mRCC patients were immunohistochemically stained for t4EBP1 and p4EBP1. The disease-free interval (DFI) categorized by the expressions and clinical parameters were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis in the non-mRCC cohort. Then, the cause-specific survival (CSS) was assessed in the mRCC cohort by the same methods as used in the non-mRCC cohort. In the non-mRCC cohort, patients with t4EBP1 expression had no RCC recurrence. Patients with p4EBP1 expression had the shorter DFI in univariate analysis (P=0.037). p4EBP1 and pT1b-4 expression levels were independent predictors for de novo metastasis. In the ...
