This article reviews the use of adjuvant therapies for prevention of recurrence following resection of clinically localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Clinical trials evaluating adjuvant therapy for RCC have focused…
There has been strong interest in using neoadjuvant therapy to decrease recurrence rates and facilitate surgical resection in locally advanced renal cell carcinoma. To date, no evidence exists to support…
Variant histology renal cell carcinoma (vRCC) encompasses rare non–clear cell subtypes that have long been associated with poor prognosis and minimal response to therapies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor and…
In an era of several therapeutic options available, optimal treatment sequencing is crucial to providing patients the most effective therapy and promoting quality of life. In clear cell renal cell…
In the preceding two decades, several milestones have been reached in the management of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), including the development of novel targeted agents paralleling an…
Patients with renal cell carcinoma may develop metastases after radical nephrectomy, and therefore monitoring with imaging for recurrent or metastatic disease is critical. Imaging varies with specific suspected site of…
Advanced renal cell carcinoma is not uncommon, but necessitates a multidisciplinary approach for optimal treatment. Targeted therapy has increased the likelihood of urologists managing patients in all disease stages. Neoadjuvant…
Abstract Because magnifying endoscopy is considered to be more accurate at predicting the histology of colorectal polyps than nonmagnifying endoscopy, it has been attracting a lot of attention, especially in…
Abstract Adequacy of manual endoscopic inspection of the upper and lower gastrointestinal mucosa is operator-dependent: it is common knowledge that the likelihood of finding lesions and the degree of cancer…
Abstract As AI becomes increasingly ubiquitous in our world, it is set to transform every aspect of how we do medical care, research and education. Physicians as a profession need…
