RCC With Isolated Lymph Node Metastases Has Poor Prognosis After Surgery
Following nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma with lymph node involvement, patients have a 5-year survival rate of only 28%, a new study found.

CheckMate 214: Long-Term Results Confirm Superiority of Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab for mRCC
Superiority of the regimen was shown in intermediate- and poor-risk groups, as well as in intention-to-treat populations.
Looking at Survival Differently in Patients With Metastatic Kidney Cancer
Conditional survival may more accurately assess prognosis than traditional survival for patients with metastatic kidney cancer, but the metric is not without its caveats.
Cryoablation vs PN for pT1b RCC Predicts Greater Cancer Death Risk
Among patients with pT1b renal cell carcinoma, cryoablation is associated with a 2.5-fold higher 5-year cancer-specific mortality rate compared with partial nephrectomy, a study found.
Biosimilars Mvasi, Kanjinti Now Available in the US
Biosimilars Mvasi and Kanjinti are now available in the United States.
Cytoreductive Nephrectomy Alone for mRCC Linked to Better Survival
Cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) by itself for metastatic renal cell carcinoma is associated with a 43% decreased risk of death compared with CN plus targeted therapy.
PN, RN Offer Comparable Long-Term Survival for T1b RCC
In a meta-analysis, partial and radical nephrectomy were associated with similar long-term overall survival, but cancer-specific survival was better with radical nephrectomy.
