ABSTRACT

Background: IRF5 is one member of IRFs family, and is critical for host immunity and cell response. In the present study, we sought to search the clinical and prognostic value of IFR5 in patients with non-metastatic ccRCC.

Results: IRF5 proved to be an adverse independent prognostic factor for overall survival (p < 0.001) and recurrence free survival (p = 0.002). The newly built nomograms could give better prediction for overall survival and recurrence free survival in ccRCC patients.

Materials and Methods: We included 264 individuals who were diagnosed with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma in the present study. Immunohistochemistry staining was performed on tissue microarrays to evaluate the IRF5 expression. χ2 test, Fisher's exact test, t test, Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model were applied to evaluate the prognostic value of IRF5. Two nomograms were constructed to predict clinical outcomes for ccRCC patients after surgery.

Conclusions: IRF5 was an adverse independent prognostic factor for both overall survival and recurrence free survival in patients with non-metastatic ccRCC.
