TLDR
In this paper, two different perspectives to analyze the metastatic process taking clear cell renal cell carcinoma as a model, molecular and ecological, were presented, and game theory applied to cell encounters within a tumor provided a sociological perspective of the possible behaviors of individuals in a collectivity.
Abstract
This overview focuses on two different perspectives to analyze the metastatic process taking clear cell renal cell carcinoma as a model, molecular and ecological. On the one hand, genomic analyses have demonstrated up to seven different constrained routes of tumor evolution and two different metastatic patterns. On the other hand, game theory applied to cell encounters within a tumor provides a sociological perspective of the possible behaviors of individuals (cells) in a collectivity. This combined approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of the complex rules governing a neoplasm.

Isolated Pancreatic Metastases of Renal Cell Carcinoma—Clinical Particularities and Seed and Soil Hypothesis

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 1470 isolated pancreatic metastases of renal cell carcinoma revealed that these are characterised by not only the exclusive occurrence of PM and a good prognosis but a lack of prognostic significance of volume and growth rate dependent risk factors and the independence of treatment results from standard or local resections as mentioned in this paper .
