We aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of M30 and M65 which are biomarkers of apoptotic cell death in renal cell cancer (RCC). Serum levels of M30 and M65 were analyzed in 39 consecutively enrolled patients with metastatic RCC and control subjects using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. We found that high serum M65 levels might predict worse outcome resulting in shorter progression-free survival in RCC.
