Risk factors for RNA integrity in fresh-frozen renal cancer samples from routine practice (UroCCR 9)

Key Points

• RNA integrity was significantly affected by storage time and temperature, impacting sample quality.
• Key evidence showed that prolonged storage beyond 24 hours led to 30% degradation in RNA integrity.
• Analysis of fresh-frozen samples collected in routine practice highlighted critical handling factors affecting outcomes.
• Improved sample processing methods may enhance RNA preservation, which is essential for accurate molecular studies.
