New Insights into Adjuvant Therapy in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Is the Chapter of VEGF Inhibitors Definitely Closed?

Eur Urol. 2021 Sep;80(3):269-274. doi: 10.1016/j.eururo.2021.03.011. Epub 2021 Mar 31.

Abstract

Adjuvant therapy with antiangiogenic agents in locoregional renal cell carcinoma did not translate into a sufficient benefit and highlight the crucial role of patient selection. Ongoing clinical trials with immune-targeted agents hold great promise for this unmet clinical need.
