Therapeutic challenges in advanced renal cell carcinoma - Abstract

The therapeutic landscape of advanced renal cell carcinoma has grown increasingly more complex with the recent approval of several molecularly targeted agents.

While researchers focus on developing predictive algorithms and identifying novel therapeutic targets and agents, clinical practitioners continue to face many practical challenges when determining therapeutic strategies for individual patients. This review will discuss several of these challenges including patient selection strategies, sequential therapy, optimal dose and schedule of various drugs, and therapeutic options for patients with nonclear-cell renal cell carcinoma.
