Objectives This study aimed to determine the serum levels of angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4)
in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and explore its potential as a biomarker.
Materials and methods Blood samples were taken from 110 patients with RCC, 66 healthy
controls, and patients with other solid tumors. Serum ANGPTL4 levels were measured using
the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and their correlation with clinical characteristics
was further analyzed. Received operating characteristic (ROC) curves, Kaplan-Meier curves …
