## BACKGROUND. In the treatment of small renal cell carcinoma (RCC), there is controversy between radical and nephron-sparing surgical treatment because of the risk of tumor multifocality. The biologic behavior of multifocal RCC compared with that of unifocal RCC is not well investigated, and the

Reduced expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 Kip1 has been reported to correlate with poor survival in cohorts of breast and colorectal carcinoma patients. Posttranslational ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal proteolysis is related to p27 Kip1 protein levels. However, to the authors'
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Low levels of p27^Kip1^ are associated with high aggressiveness and poor prognosis in various malignancies, including colorectal carcinoma. The authors showed that S phase kinase protein 2 (Skp2), the specific ubiquitin ligase subunit that targets p27^Kip1^ for degradatio
