Friday Report from GU ASCO; Biomarkers
02/04/2012
Ulka Vaishampayan, MD writes: Biomarkers represent the future of renal cancer therapeutics. With six new targeted-therapy agents receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals, and many more maturing toward becoming established therapies, optimization of these treatments has become a dire need of the moment. Current prognostic information is predominantly reliant on patient and tumor characteristics and is derived from basic clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
The Empowered Patient

The well-informed kidney cancer patient is the empowered patient, but is it wise to rely on the interpretation of medical information by other lay people? Perhaps not. In this podcast we discuss the importance of doing your own fact-finding.
Papillary Kidney Cancer Clinical Trials

GU ASCO: The Role of Cytoreductive Nephrectomy
02/03/2012
By: Thomas Powles, MD The introduction of agents targeting angiogenesis and the mTOR pathway have substantially improved the outcome of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Cytoreductive nephrectomy remains the standard of care in the era of targeted therapy. This is based on data from two randomized trials comparing nephrectomy and immune therapy with immune therapy alone.

Quality of life during dendritic cell vaccination
02/01/2012
The data indicate that dendritic cells (DCs) vaccination, which is a personalised treatment modality, maintains quality of life (QoL) and thus represents an attractive nontoxic treatment option for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Small Renal Oncocytomas
