Abstract
Guidelines recommend consideration of 1 yr of adjuvant pembrolizumab for selected patients with oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma who are disease-free after metastasectomy. Owing to the heterogeneity of this population, it is unclear whether patients would benefit more from single-agent pembrolizumab or from observation and salvage therapy with multiagent regimens. Better prognostic biomarkers are needed to guide treatment decisions in this setting.
