Yes and no.  Only the chromotropic type of Renal Cell Ca. will stain with
the Hale's Colloidal Iron method.

Hi Histonetters, 
We have discontinued doing the Colliodal Iron stain because of Immunos...
but my doctors want to know if the Mowery will stain renal tumors?  It is a
good stain but I do not know the answer to this.
