Identification of a Novel Stem Cell Subtype for Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Based on Stem Cell Gene Profiling
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cancer and is characterized by high rates of metastasis. Cancer stem cell is a vital cause of renal cancer metastasis and recurrence. However, little is known regarding the change and the roles of stem cells during the devel...

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cancer and is characterized by high rates of metastasis. Cancer stem cell is a vital cause of renal cancer metastasis and recurrence. However, little is known regarding the change and the roles of stem cells during the development of renal cancer. To clarify this problem, we developed a novel stem cell clustering strategy. Based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) genomic datasets, we used 19 stem cell gene sets to classify each dataset. A machine learning method was used to perform the classification.
