Targeted Molecular Therapy Articles

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2-cycled neoadjuvant sunitinib therapy (NST) in patients with inoperable metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Between 2009 and 2012, 14 patients with inoperable mRCC from 5 Korean academic centers were prospectively enrolled after collecting their clinicopathological data and completing health-related questionnaires.

To conduct a review of literature on adjuvant therapy in nonmetastatic renal-cell carcinoma (nmRCC) treated with nephrectomy and to describe the efficacy of adjuvant agents on cancer control outcomes.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the role of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) with thrombectomy before targeted molecular therapy (TMT) on survival in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) with venous tumor thrombus.

Adjuvant therapies for non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma (nmRCC) are being tested to improve outcomes in patients with high-risk (hR) nmRCC. The objective of the current study is to test the ability of three hR features to identify patients who are at the highest risk of cancer-specific mortality (CSM) after partial or radical nephrectomy.

To assess survival outcomes following high dose IL-2 (HDIL-2) in a contemporary cohort of patients during the era of targeted agents.

Retrospective review of metastatic RCC patients treated with HDIL-2 between July 2007 and September 2014.
