Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a highly metastatic and lethal disease with few efficacious treatments. Many studies have shown that the ubiquitous transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) plays a key role in the development and progression of many cancers including RCC. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the anti-cancer effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a NF-kappaB inhibitor, in a murine xenograft model of RCC.
