Progress of Molecular Targeted Therapies for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a crucial role in tumor angiogenesis. VEGF expression in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is mostly regulated by hypoxia, predominantly via the hypoxia-induced factor (HIF)/Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) pathway. Advances in our knowledge of VEGF role in tumor angiogenesis, growth, and progression have permitted development of new approaches for th...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Targeted Therapy for Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
The treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has recently evolved from being predominantly cytokine-based treatment to the use of targeted agents, which include sorafenib, sunitinib, bevacizumab (plus interferon alpha [IFN-α]), temsirolimus, everolimus, pazopanib, and most recently, axitinib. Improved understanding of the molecular pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of RCC has l...
متن کاملNCCN Task Force report: optimizing treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma with molecular targeted therapy.
The outcome of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma has been substantially improved with administration of the currently available molecularly targeted therapies. However, proper selection of therapy and management of toxicities remain challenging. NCCN convened a multidisciplinary task force panel to address the clinical issues associated with these therapies in attempt to help practi...
متن کاملCombination targeted therapy in advanced renal cell carcinoma.
Several novel therapies have been approved recently in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). These agents inhibit pathways downstream of loss of the von Hippel-Lindau gene VHL. They target the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) ligand, VEGF receptor (VEGFR), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and other potentially important pathways. Even with improvements in survival, disease progress...
متن کاملSorafenib: a promising new targeted therapy for renal cell carcinoma.
Diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) frequently occurs at advanced stages, severely limiting the success of treatment, and median survival is barely more than a year. Previously, treatment of renal cancer was limited to nephrectomy or immunotherapy (interleukin or interferon-alpha), which was effective in a small subset of patients but often was accompanied by severe side effects. New orally...
