Recently, our group showed that Vim3 is overexpressed in tissue samples of renal oncocytomas and Mxi‐2 in clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). The mechanism leading to the truncation of both proteins is known and involves with two miRs, both detectable in urine. Since the analysis of miRs is time‐consuming, our aim was to identify the truncated proteins in urine instead. Furthermore, urine samples from small renal masses (SRMs) (n = 45, <4 cm) were analyzed to get a pre‐surgical differentiation of the cancer subtypes.
