Loss of nuclear BAP1 protein expression is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma

We have demonstrated that nuclear BAP1 expression is a marker of prognosis in ccRCC, having an influence on cancer-specific survival. The clinical importance for BAP1 will be realized with the identification and application of targeted therapies and with individualized approaches in the adjuvant setting or in the metastatic setting or in both the settings.
