Identification of adhesion-associated extracellular matrix component thrombospondin 3 as a prognostic signature for clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

is upregulated in cancer tissues and could be used as a novel prognostic marker for ccRCC. Our findings thus offer theoretical support with bioinformatics analyses to the study of ECM and adhesion proteins in ccRCC, which may provide a new perspective for the clinical management of ccRCC.
