Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is now a chronic disease thanks to targeted therapies and immunotherapy. These advancements have more than doubled the median overall survival for mRCC patients.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Translational Research
Background:
- Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) management has significantly advanced.
- Improved understanding of renal cell carcinoma tumor biology drives treatment evolution.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the evolution of mRCC management.
- To highlight the impact of novel therapies on patient survival.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of recent advancements in mRCC treatment.
- Analysis of survival data for mRCC patients.
Main Results:
- Targeted therapies and immunotherapy have become integral to mRCC treatment.
- Median overall survival for mRCC has improved from approximately 1 year to over 2 years.
Conclusions:
- mRCC is increasingly managed as a chronic, progressive illness.
- New therapeutic strategies have substantially improved outcomes for mRCC patients.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
