Abstract
Introduction
To compare outcomes in high-risk localized RCC (HRL-RCC) patients treated with adjuvant (AT) and neoadjuvant therapy (NT) utilizing a propensity score matched model (PSM)
Methods
We conducted a multicenter analysis for patients who underwent AT or NT. AT was defined as systemic therapy given postoperatively in absence of metastases; NT was presurgical therapy in setting of localized disease. AT and NT utilized included target molecular therapy (TMT) or immunotherapy (IO). PSM model was conducted using a nearest neighbor matching algorithm in a 1:2 ratio. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality (ACM); secondary outcomes were cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and recurrence. Cox regression multivariable analysis (MVA) was fitted to elucidate predictors of outcomes.
Results
After PSM 311 patients were analyzed [adjuvant n=221, 127 TMT vs. 94 IO; neoadjuvant n=90, 61 TMT vs. 29 IO]; median follow-up 44 (IQR 20-74) months. MVA revealed AT as associated with increased ACM (HR=1.97, p=0.007), CSM (HR=2.37, p=0.007) and recurrence (HR 1.64, p=0.02). Sub-analysis of AT cohort revealed IO to be associated with decreased ACM (HR 0.59, p=0.015). In the neoadjuvant cohort TMT and IO were associated with decreased ACM (HR 0.49; p=0.016; HR 0.32, p=0.016, respectively) and CSM risk (HR 0.47, p=0.036; HR 0.18, p=0.017).
Conclusions
Our findings suggest a potential advantage of NT for HRL-RCC. Adjuvant immunotherapy was associated with decreased risk of ACM, while in the neoadjuvant TMT and IO therapy had similar outcomes. Our findings call for consideration of a clinical trial to compare outcomes of AT vs. NT.

Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations is the official journal of the Society of Urologic Oncology. The journal publishes practical, timely, and relevant clinical and basic science research articles which address any aspect of urologic oncology. Each issue comprises original research, news and topics, survey articles providing short commentaries on other important articles in the urologic oncology literature, and reviews including an in-depth Seminar examining a specific clinical dilemma. The journal periodically publishes supplement issues devoted to areas of current interest to the urologic oncology community. Articles published are of interest to researchers and the clinicians involved in the practice of urologic oncology including urologists, oncologists, and radiologists.
