Cytoreductive nephrectomy in metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma: perspectives in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor era Biswas S; Kelly J; Eisen TOncologist 2009[Jan]; 14 (1): 52-9Cytoreductive nephrectomy in combination with adjuvant immunotherapy is an established treatment option for selected patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (mCC-RCC). Multitargeted antiangiogenic and mammalian target of rapamycin tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are now established treatment paradigms in patients with mCC-RCC. Given that all the recent seminal TKI trials in mCC-RCC provide no evidence base for the use of cytoreductive nephrectomy in the TKI era, it is not presently clear where such a surgical approach fits into the treatment paradigm. This review summarizes the evidence for the management of mCC-RCC and outlines novel approaches to be tested within future trials if the initial proposed phase III trials in this setting, using sunitinib, are successful. Overall, two principal questions need addressing. First, is cytoreductive nephrectomy necessary in the TKI era? Second, if so, what is the most appropriate scheduling of TKI therapy with cytoreductive nephrectomy?|Antineoplastic Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Carcinoma, Renal Cell/*drug therapy/enzymology/pathology/*surgery[MESH]|Clinical Trials, Phase III as Topic[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Indoles/therapeutic use[MESH]|Kidney Neoplasms/*drug therapy/enzymology/pathology/*surgery[MESH]|Neoplasm Metastasis[MESH]|Nephrectomy/methods[MESH]|Protein Kinase Inhibitors/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Pyrroles/therapeutic use[MESH]|Sunitinib[MESH] |
