    Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) combined with renal embolization shows promise for treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This approach effectively stimulated the immune system without causing complications in canine models.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Immunology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) presents a significant challenge in cancer treatment.
    • Current management strategies for advanced RCC often require innovative therapeutic approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) with total renal embolization for potential application in metastatic RCC.
    • To assess the impact of this combined therapy on the reticuloendothelial system.

    Main Methods:

    • Adult mongrel dogs underwent total renal embolization, with some receiving Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG).
    • Kidneys were surgically removed at 1, 2, and 3 weeks post-procedure for gross and microscopic examination.
    • Comparative analysis was performed between kidneys treated with embolization alone and those treated with embolization plus BCG.

    Main Results:

    • The combination of BCG and renal embolization demonstrated enhanced stimulation of the reticuloendothelial system compared to embolization alone.
    • A high dosage of BCG (6 x 10(8) organisms) was administered without any observed complications.
    • Histopathological analysis confirmed the immune-stimulating effects of the combined treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined administration of BCG and total renal embolization is a safe and effective method for stimulating the reticuloendothelial system.
    • This preclinical study provides a strong rationale for advancing this technique to clinical trials for patients with advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
