The treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma has been substantially improved by the introduction of targeted and immune therapies and their respective combinations. Unleashing the activity of the immune system opened a new and successful front in the fight against cancers. Despite the benefits, drug resistance phenomena and adverse side effects can compromise efficacy. The development of new modalities of drugs and therapies with properties and mechanisms of action that break away from conventional medicines was expanded in recent years. This perspective discusses the prospects of these innovative and highly potent novel treatments in overcoming much of the current issues surrounding the resistance to approved renal cell carcinoma treatments and the challenges facing their introduction.
