Renal Cancer

Percutaneous cryoablation has become an established nephron-sparing treatment option for selected patients with small renal masses. For multidisciplinary kidney cancer teams, the central question is no longer simply whether cryoablation can provide local tumor control, but how the procedure should be performed and assessed to make that control as durable and reliable as possible.

Neoadjuvant systemic therapy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) aim to improve oncological and survival outcomes in patients with high-risk disease. This review evaluates contemporary evidence for neoadjuvant and perioperative systemic therapies in ccRCC, with a focus on localised high-risk disease, venous tumour thrombus and metastatic or cytoreductive settings.

Fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare, molecularly defined subgroup of non-clear cell RCC (nccRCC) lacking an approved standard treatment. We report the exploratory analysis of this entity within the SUNNIFORECAST trial.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma accounts for nearly 15,000 deaths annually in the US, and approximately 30-40% of patients present with metastatic disease (mRCC). The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (IO) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) has revolutionized the treatment paradigm of patients with mRCC.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common, aggressive renal malignancy with a poor prognosis and limited advanced therapies.Accumulating evidence highlights the importance of sialylation and sialylation-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumor progression, immune evasion, and treatment resistance.

Background/Objectives: Nivolumab monotherapy is a standard of care in previously treated advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) and was approved based on the results of the randomized clinical trial Checkmate-025.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for the majority of kidney cancers, with approximately 80,000 new diagnoses and over 14,000 deaths annually in the United States. Risk stratification is essential for prognostication, treatment selection, and clinical trial design across all disease stages.

Discordant responses to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICIs) may occur at different sites in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). This study investigated the incidence and prognostic significance of mixed response in mRCC patients treated with nivolumab.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the predominant form of kidney cancer, is influenced by several risk factors (RFs) including obesity, hypertension, and smoking. However, the molecular mechanisms linking these RFs to RCC remain unclear.

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate technical efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of renal tumors using a novel RF system.

Eighty-two patients with 85 renal tumors (renal cell, papillary and chromophobe carcinomas, oncocytomas and lymphoma) considered unsuitable for surgery by the local Multidisciplinary Board were enrolled for RFA.
