Abstract
In this article, we report the breakthrough acquisitions for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) management presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. The results from Keynote 564 showed an impressive overall survival (OS) advantage for pembrolizumab, in patients at higher risk of relapse after surgery and confirmed the benefit in terms of disease-free survival (DFS). Until now, pembrolizumab is the only immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) to prove a survival advantage. On the contrary, the results from CheckMate 914 trial showed the lack of benefit of adjuvant nivolumab. In the metastatic setting, the longer-term follow-up data of the CheckMate 9ER and CheckMate 214 trials reassessed the undoubtable role of ICI-based combination in first-line treatment, with a clear survival advantage in the subgroup of patients at intermediate/poor IMDC prognosis. No OS advantage was seen in favorable IMDC risk group patients. This 2024 ASCO Genitourinary Cancer Symposium laid the foundations for further knowledge development necessary for an increasingly personalized therapy for RCC patients.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy (ISSN 1473-7140) provides expert appraisal and commentary on the major trends in cancer care and highlights the performance of new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.
Coverage includes tumor management, novel medicines, anticancer agents and chemotherapy, biological therapy, cancer vaccines, therapeutic indications, biomarkers and diagnostics, and treatment guidelines. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review, and the journal makes an essential contribution to decision-making in cancer care.
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Review format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion - a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
