Chronic Microangiopathy Due to DCR-MYC, a Myc-Targeted Short Interfering RNA

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is an emerging complication of oncologic therapy. Cancer-related causes of renal endothelial cell damage include cytotoxic chemotherapies, radiation given for myeloablation, and direct involvement of renal vasculature by tumor cells. Another class of therapeutic agents that has been implicated in TMA is the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway inhibitors, including the anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody...
