Abstract:
Kidney cancer is the eighth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States, and nearly one-third of patients have locally advanced or metastatic disease at presentation. Historically, survival outcomes for patients with advanced disease have been poor. In recent years, several novel targeted agents have emerged for the management of advanced renal cell carcinoma that have changed treatment paradigms. At the same time, surgical therapy continues to have a critical role in the management of selected patients. Recent medical and surgical advances have improved the prognosis for patients with a diagnosis of advanced disease. This review provides an overview of the current treatment landscape for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.

The glomerulus is a tiny, intricate network of capillaries located at the beginning of the nephron. It's enveloped by the Bowman's capsule and receives its blood supply from an afferent arteriole, which divides into numerous...
Renal Clearance
Renal clearance refers to the volume of plasma cleared of a specific substance, such as creatinine, per unit of time. To measure clearance, urine samples are collected over a 24-hour period during each bladder voiding, followed by a single blood sample at the...
