The IHC scores for PD-L1 were compared with the 18F-FDG maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), and the mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) value, with the clinical characteristics of CCRCC, and with the IHC scores of enzymes related to glucose metabolism (glucose transporter type 1 (GLUT1), hexokinase 2 (HK2), lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA)), and Von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL). This evidence concerns the gene LDHA and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma.
