Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma with TFEB amplification is rare and reportedly aggressive. We herein report a case of renal cell carcinoma with TFEB translocation and amplification in which long‐term control was achieved by multimodal therapy including a vascular endothelial growth factor ‐receptor inhibitor.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
