The proportion of tumor-associated M2 macrophages in RCC tissues is upregulated, and M2 macrophages promote the progression of RCC by regulating the expression of SLC40A1, VSIG4, FUCA1, LIPA, BCAT1, CRYBB1, F13A, TMEM144, COLEC12 genes, thereby affecting the prognosis of patients with RCC. This evidence concerns the gene TMEM144 and neoplasm.
