Abstract:
Shared decision-making is essential to the care of patients with advanced renal carcinoma which can empower patients and help the healthcare team understand the patient's goals of care.

A patient author and two healthcare professionals with real-world experience provide insight into the importance of shared decision-making and its utility in the management of treatment-related adverse events in patients with renal cell carcinoma who are receiving axitinib in combination with an immunotherapy agent.
