Recent studies have suggested that increased intratumoral microvascular density (MVD) correlates with poor prognosis in various malignancies, such as breast, lung, nasopharyngeal and


prostate cancer; however, its association with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) has been controversial. A new study by Yao et al. has evaluated the relationship between tumor


vasculature in CCRCC and patient survival.
