Biology of Renal Cell Carcinoma presents the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on the Biology of Renal Cell Carcinoma, March 1994. This symposium gathers "internationally acclaimed researchers from relevant fields of renal cell carcinoma to present their latest work and to interact on the interpretation of these findings and direction for subsequent studies. The program is directed to physicians and research scientists involved in the clinical and basic research aspects of the treatment of renal cell carcinoma." (from the Symposium Announcement) Topics covered in the areas of Molecular Biology of Renal Cell Carcinoma: Cytogenetics, Genetic Approaches to Therapy of Renal Cell Carcinoma, Immunology of Renal Cell Carcinoma - T-Cell Anergy, New Approaches with Renal Cell Carcinoma - Cytokines
