Early and prolonged response to pazopanib in a patient with multiple metastases from renal cell carcinoma: a case report

Tumori. 2014 May-Jun;100(3):e83-6. doi: 10.1700/1578.17240.

Abstract

Aims and background: In recent years, targeted agents have replaced cytokine therapy as the standard of care for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Methods and study design: We report a patient with multiple metastases from renal cell carcinoma treated with cytoreductive surgery and pazopanib.

Results and conclusions: The treatment resulted in an early and prolonged response, without toxicity.
