Monthly Oncology Tumor Boards: Updates in Management of Renal Cell Carcinoma

October 20, 2021

The increasing availability of immunotherapies and targeted therapies has given patients with advanced renal cell cancer (RCC) more options in first- and subsequent-line treatment settings, but clinicians may find it difficult to determine which single- or multi-agent therapies are most effective for patients with different kidney cancer histologies and risk groups. The NCCN Categories of Preference and Categories of Evidence and Consensus help to stratify the most effective treatment regimens by histology and risk status.

Target Audience

This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of physicians/oncologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other health care professionals who manage patients with cancer.

Learning Objectives

Following this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Summarize the emerging and FDA-approved systemic therapies available for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the toxicities associated with treatment.
  • Identify the clinical scenarios in which cytoreductive nephrectomy can be considered.
  • Recognize the challenges of differential diagnosis of RCC, particularly non-clear cell RCC.
