Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is often diagnosed at a localized stage and treated with surgery. However, up to 40% of patients may experience recurrence despite complete resection. The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors, particularly pembrolizumab, has changed the adjuvant treatment landscape. The Tuscan Interdisciplinary Uro-Oncological Group (GIOTTO) provides practical guidance on patient selection and clinical use of adjuvant pembrolizumab in RCC.
