Abstract:
The prevalence of renal cell carcinoma is increasing in recent years. With the development of research, we know more about the mechanism and biological characteristics of renal cell carcinoma. Currently, the most used prognosis evaluation methods are clinical factors based prognostic prediction models. New drugs, typified by the checkpoint inhibitors, have achieved great success in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma, on the basis of traditional tyrosine kinase inhibitor. With recognition of more prognosis and treatment related biomarkers, directive role for the prognosis prediction and treatment options could be expected.
