Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the results of PADRES (Prior Axitinib as a Determinant of Outcome of Renal Surgery, NCT03438708), a study investigating neoadjuvant axitinib for tumours of high complexity with imperative indication for partial nephrectomy (PN). METHODS We conducted a single-arm phase II clinical trial of localized (cT1b-cT3M0) clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with imperative indications for nephron preservation, where PN is a high-risk procedure due to complexity (RENAL score 10-12). Axitinib 5 mg was administered twice daily for 8 weeks with repeat imaging at completion, followed by surgery. The primary outcome was successful completion of planned PN following axitinib treatment. Secondary objectives included changes in tumour diameter, RENAL nephrometry score, renal function and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1, and surgical complications. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients were enrolled (median age 69 years). Prior to therapy, twenty patients (74.0%) had ≥ clinical T3a staged tumours. Axitinib resulted in reductions in tumour diameter (7.5 vs 6.2 cm; P < 0.001) and RENAL score (11 vs 10; P < 0.001). Nine patients (33.3%) had partial response based on RECIST and nine (33.3%) were clinically downstaged. PN was performed in twenty patients (74.0%); twenty-five patients (96.2%) had negative margins. Six patients (22.2%) had Clavien III-IV complications. The median change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (preoperative to last follow-up) was 8.5 mL/min/1.73 m2 . CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant axitnib resulted in reductions in tumour size and complexity, enabling safe and feasible PN and functional preservation in patients with complex renal masses and imperative indication.

Oncol Lett 2024; 27:162. [PMID: 38449796 PMCID: PMC10915807 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2024.14295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024] Open
Abstract
To evaluate the effects of neoadjuvant vascular endothelial growth factor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (VEGF-TKI) treatment on surgery in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), sources from Embase, PubMed and the Cochrane Library databases collected from inception to December, 2022 were used for analysis in the present study, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Data regarding surgical outcomes were collected. The pooled effect sizes were calculated in terms of the risk ratio (RR)/standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using the random-effects model. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were used to explore the source of heterogeneity within the data. In total, 9 identified articles involving 829 patients (336 in the neoadjuvant + surgery group; 493 in the surgery group) were included in the present study, according to the criteria. The results demonstrated that there were no significant differences in blood loss (SMD=-0.11; 95% CI, -0.63-0.41; P=0.68), postoperative length of hospital stay or total length of hospital stay (SMD=0.23; 95% CI, -0.55-1.01; P=0.57) or complications (RR=1.16; 95% CI, 0.80-1.67; P=0.44) between the two groups. However, neoadjuvant therapy reduced the operation time (SMD=-0.67; 95% CI, -1.25- -0.09; P=0.02) and resulted in a greater proportion of patients choosing partial nephrectomy (RR=1.84; 95% CI, 1.47-2.31; P<0.00001). In the subgroup analysis, the blood loss was significantly lower in patients with RCC with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus in the neoadjuvant group (SMD=-1.10; 95% CI, -1.82- -0.38; P=0.003). In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that neoadjuvant VEGF-TKI treatment in patients with RCC shortened operation time, decreased blood loss and did not cause an increase in perioperative complications. In addition, this treatment modality may encourage patients to opt for partial nephrectomy to preserve renal function.

Abstract
Importance The therapeutic landscape of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has rapidly evolved in the past 2 decades, with the advent of cytokines therapy followed by targeted therapies and novel immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). This article aims to review the current evidence and ongoing trials of neoadjuvant or prenephrectomy ICI therapy in patients with locally advanced and metastatic RCC. Observations A literature search was performed using the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, and PubMed as well as relevant medical society meetings for English-language studies, articles, and abstracts published before January 31, 2023. Currently, level I evidence supports the use of ICI-based combination therapy as the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC with the potential option of deferred nephrectomy in those who respond to treatment. Nevertheless, limited prospective data are available regarding the role and outcomes of nephrectomy (cytoreductive or consolidative) in conjunction with ICI therapy in both metastatic and locally advanced RCC. Although data from retrospective case series confirmed the feasibility and safety of deferred nephrectomy in this setting, the sequence of nephrectomy and whether it should be considered in patients with metastatic RCC is a common clinical dilemma. However, although neoadjuvant targeted therapy for nonmetastatic RCCs has been associated with some advantages yet not accepted as a standard, current data from a phase 3 randomized clinical trial failed to demonstrate the oncologic benefit of neoadjuvant nivolumab for locally advanced RCC. Conclusion and Relevance The findings of this review suggest that ICI-based combination therapy is the standard of care as the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic RCC. However, the role of neoadjuvant ICIs in locally advanced RCC is an active area of investigation. Deferred nephrectomy after ICI-based immunotherapy for metastatic RCC is feasible and safe yet should be performed in high-volume health centers by experienced surgeons. The multidisciplinary and careful approach is critical for treatment decisions.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant therapies can improve tolerability, reduce tumor volume to facilitate surgery, and assess subsequent treatment response. Therefore, there is much enthusiasm for expanding the benefits of cancer therapies to the neoadjuvant setting to reduce recurrence and improve survival in patients with localized or locally advanced genitourinary (GU) cancer. This approach is clinically pertinent because these treatments are administered primarily to treatment-naive patients and can elicit the greatest drug response. In addition, the results are not impacted by other anticancer treatments. While neoadjuvant therapies have been the standard treatment for bladder cancer in the past, they are presently restricted to clinical trials for renal and prostate cancer (PCa); however, changes are imminent. Precision neoadjuvant therapies will be ushered in by biomarker-stratified neoadjuvant trials with appropriate survival endpoints and comprehensive correlative and imaging studies. This review discusses neoadjuvant studies in GU malignancies and how they inform future study design considerations.

Abstract
Tumor thrombus (TT) is a complication of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) for which favorable medical management remains undefined. While radical nephrectomy has been shown to increase overall survival in RCC patients, surgical interventions such as cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) utilized to perform TT resection carry high mortality rates. While it has been documented that RCC with TT is associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) development, anticoagulation use in these patients remains controversial in clinical practice. Whether anticoagulation is associated with improved survival outcomes remains unclear. Furthermore, if anticoagulation is initiated, there is limited evidence for whether direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), heparin, or warfarin serve as the most advantageous choice. While the combination of immunotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has been shown to improve the outcomes of RCC, the clinical benefits of this combination are not well studied prospectively in cases with TT. In this literature review, we explore the challenges of treating RCC-associated TT with special attention to anticoagulation. We provide a comprehensive overview of current surgical and medical approaches and summarize recent studies investigating anticoagulation in RCC patients undergoing surgery, targeted therapy, and/or immunotherapy. Our goal is to provide clinicians with updated clinical insight into anticoagulation for RCC-associated TT patients.

Abstract
Background Partial nephrectomy (PN) is preferred for a renal mass in a solitary kidney (RMSK), although tumors with high complexity can be challenging. Objective To evaluate the evolution of RMSK management with a focus on achievement of PN. Design setting and participants Patients with nonmetastatic RMSK (n = 499) were retrospectively reviewed; 133 had high tumor complexity, including 80 in the pre-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era (1999-2008) and 53 in the TKI era (2009-2022). After 2009, 23/53 patients received neoadjuvant TKI and 30/53 had immediate-surgery. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis Functional outcomes, adverse events and complications, dialysis-free survival, and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were the measures evaluated. Mann-Whitney and χ2 tests were used to compare cohorts, and the log-rank test was applied for survival analyses. Results and limitations Overall, the median RENAL score was 10 and the median tumor diameter was 5.2 cm. Demographic characteristics, tumor diameter, and RENAL scores were similar between the pre-TKI-era and TKI-era groups. In the TKI era, 23/53 patients (43%) with clear-cell histology were selected for neoadjuvant TKI. These 23 patients had a greater median tumor diameter (7.1 vs 4.4 cm; p = 0.02) and RENAL score (11 vs 10; p = 0.07). After TKI treatment, the median tumor diameter decreased to 5.6 cm and the RENAL score to 9, and tumor volume was reduced by 59% (all p < 0.05). PN was accomplished in 21/23 (91%) the TKI-treated cases and in 27/30 (90%) of the immediate-surgery cases (2009-2022). PN was only accomplished in 52/80 (65%) of the patients from the pre-TKI era (p < 0.01). The 5-yr dialysis-free survival rate was 59% in the pre-TKI-era group and 91% in the TKI-era group. The 5-yr RFS rate was lower in the TKI-era group (59% vs 74%; p = 0.21), which was mostly related to more aggressive tumor biology, as reflected by a predominance of systemic rather than local recurrences. Conclusions Management of RMSK with high tumor complexity is challenging. Selective use of TKI therapy was associated with greater use of PN, although a randomized study is needed. RFS mostly reflected aggressive tumor biology rather than failure of local management. Patient summary For complex kidney tumors in patients with a single kidney, management is challenging. Use of drugs called tyrosine kinase inhibitors before surgery was associated with reductions in tumor size and greater ability to achieve partial kidney removal for cancer control. Most recurrences were metastatic, which reflects aggressive tumor biology rather than failure of surgery.

Abstract
Because metachronous metastatic disease will develop in 20% to 40% of patients with presumed localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treated surgically, research is focused on neoadjuvant and adjuvant systemic therapy, to improve disease-free and overall survival. Neoadjuvant therapies trialed include anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) agents, or combination therapies (immunotherapy with TKI), and aim to improve resectability of locoregional RCC. Adjuvant therapies trialed include cytokines, anti-VEGF TKI agents, or immunotherapy. These therapeutics can facilitate the surgical extirpation of the primary kidney tumor in the neoadjuvant setting and improve disease-free survival in the adjuvant setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A renal mass in a solitary kidney (RMSK) has traditionally been managed with partial nephrectomy (PN), although radical nephrectomy (RN) is occasionally required. Most RMSK studies have focused on patients for whom PN was achieved. OBJECTIVE To provide a comprehensive analysis of the management strategies/outcomes for an RMSK and address knowledge deficits regarding this challenging disorder. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 1024 patients diagnosed with an RMSK (1975-2022) were retrospectively evaluated. Baseline characteristics and pathologic/functional/survival outcomes were analyzed. INTERVENTION PN/RN/cryoablation (CA)/active surveillance (AS). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Functional outcomes, perioperative morbidity/mortality, and 5-yr recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated. Kruskal-Wallis and chi-square tests were used to compare cohorts, and log-rank test and Cox proportional hazard model were used for survival analysis. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS Of 1024 patients, 842 underwent PN (82%), 102 CA (10%), 54 RN (5%), and 26 AS (3%). The median tumor size and RENAL([R]adius [tumor size as maximal diameter], [E]xophytic/endophytic properties of tumor, [N]earness of tumor deepest portion to collecting system or sinus, [A]nterior [a]/posterior [p] descriptor, and [L]ocation relative to polar lines) score were 3.7 cm and 8, respectively. The median follow-up was 53 mo. For PN, 95% were clamped, and the median warm and cold ischemia times were 22 and 45 min, respectively. For PN, the median preoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 57 ml/min/1.73 m2, and the median new baseline and 5-yr GFRs were 47 and 48 ml/min/1.73 m2, respectively. Dialysis-free survival for PN was 97% at 5 yr. Twenty-two (2.1%) patients with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma and RENAL score ≥10 (median = 11) received tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to facilitate PN, leading to 57% median decrease of tumor volume; PN was accomplished in 20 (91%). Forty-one patients had planned RN (4.0%), most often due to severe pre-existing chronic kidney disease (CKD), and 13 were converted from PN to RN (1.5%). Clavien III-V perioperative complications were observed in 80 (8%) patients and 90-d mortality was 0.6%. Five-year RFS for PN, CA, and RN were 83%, 80%, and 72%, respectively (p = 0.03 for PN vs RN). CONCLUSIONS Nephron-sparing approaches are feasible and successful in most RMSK patients. PN for an RMSK is often challenging but can be facilitated by selective use of TKIs. RN is occasionally required due to severe CKD, over-riding oncologic concerns, or conversion from PN. This is the first large RMSK study to provide a comprehensive analysis of all management strategies/outcomes. PATIENT SUMMARY Kidney cancer in a solitary kidney is a major challenge for achieving cancer-free status and avoiding dialysis. Although partial nephrectomy is the principal treatment for a renal mass in a solitary kidney, other options are occasionally required to optimize outcomes.

Abstract
A 60-year-old woman taking anti-platelet drugs was referred to the hospital for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. CT revealed that the tumor had a diameter of 5 cm and hyper-vascularity. Percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation (CA) was indicated. Since preprocedural arterial embolization failed to provide sufficient embolic effects, sunitinib maleate was administered. It provided good tumor devascularization and volume reduction, which corresponded to downstage. Therefore, the administration contributed to successfully performing subsequent percutaneous CT-guided CA with no serious hemorrhagic complications. Sunitinib maleate may be an alternative to conventional treatments before CA for renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore translational biological and imaging biomarkers for sunitinib treatment before and after debulking nephrectomy in the NeoSun (European Union Drug Regulating Authorities Clinical Trials Database [EudraCT] number: 2005-004502-82) single-centre, single-arm, single-agent, Phase II trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS Treatment-naïve patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) received 50 mg once daily sunitinib for 12 days pre-surgically, then post-surgery on 4 week-on, 2 week-off, repeating 6-week cycles until disease progression in a single arm phase II trial. Structural and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnet resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and research blood sampling were performed at baseline and after 12 days. Computed tomography imaging was performed at baseline and post-surgery then every two cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors [RECIST]) excluding the resected kidney. Secondary endpoints included changes in DCE-MRI of the tumour following pre-surgery sunitinib, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), response duration, surgical morbidity/mortality, and toxicity. Translational and imaging endpoints were exploratory. RESULTS A total of 14 patients received pre-surgery sunitinib, 71% (10/14) took the planned 12 doses. All underwent nephrectomy, and 13 recommenced sunitinib postoperatively. In all, 58.3% (seven of 12) of patients achieved partial or complete response (PR or CR) (95% confidence interval 27.7-84.8%). The median OS was 33.7 months and median PFS was 15.7 months. Amongst those achieving a PR or CR, the median response duration was 8.7 months. No unexpected surgical complications, sunitinib-related toxicities, or surgical delays occurred. Within the translational endpoints, pre-surgical sunitinib significantly increased necrosis, and reduced cluster of differentiation-31 (CD31), Ki67, circulating vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), and transfer constant (KTrans , measured using DCE-MRI; all P < 0.05). There was a trend for improved OS in patients with high baseline plasma VEGF-C expression (P = 0.02). Reduction in radiological tumour volume after pre-surgical sunitinib correlated with high percentage of solid tumour components at baseline (Spearman's coefficient ρ = 0.69, P = 0.02). Conversely, the percentage tumour volume reduction correlated with lower baseline percentage necrosis (coefficient = -0.51, P = 0.03). CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant studies such as the NeoSun can safely and effectively explore translational biological and imaging endpoints.

Complementary roles of surgery and systemic treatment in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Nat Rev Urol 2022; 19:391-418.

Abstract
Standard-of-care management of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) indisputably relies on surgery for low-risk localized tumours and systemic treatment for poor-prognosis metastatic disease, but a grey area remains, encompassing high-risk localized tumours and patients with metastatic disease with a good-to-intermediate prognosis. Over the past few years, results of major practice-changing trials for the management of metastatic RCC have completely transformed the therapeutic options for this disease. Treatments targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been the mainstay of therapy for metastatic RCC in the past decade, but the advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape in the metastatic setting. Results from several pivotal trials have shown a substantial benefit from the combination of VEGF-directed therapy and immune checkpoint inhibition, raising new hopes for the treatment of high-risk localized RCC. The potential of these therapeutics to facilitate the surgical extirpation of the tumour in the neoadjuvant setting or to improve disease-free survival in the adjuvant setting has been investigated. The role of surgery for metastatic RCC has been redefined, with results of large trials bringing into question the paradigm of upfront cytoreductive nephrectomy, inherited from the era of cytokine therapy, when initial extirpation of the primary tumour did show clinical benefits. The potential benefits and risks of deferred surgery for residual primary tumours or metastases after partial response to checkpoint inhibitor treatment are also gaining interest, considering the long-lasting effects of these new drugs, which encourages the complete removal of residual masses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To detect early response to sunitinib treatment in metastatic clear cell renal cancer (mRCC) using multiparametric MRI. METHOD Participants with mRCC undergoing pre-surgical sunitinib therapy in the prospective NeoSun clinical trial (EudraCtNo: 2005-004502-82) were imaged before starting treatment, and after 12 days of sunitinib therapy using morphological MRI sequences, advanced diffusion-weighted imaging, measurements of R2* (related to hypoxia) and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging. Following nephrectomy, participants continued treatment and were followed-up with contrast-enhanced CT. Changes in imaging parameters before and after sunitinib were assessed with the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the log-rank test was used to assess effects on survival. RESULTS 12 participants fulfilled the inclusion criteria. After 12 days, the solid and necrotic tumor volumes decreased by 28% and 17%, respectively (p = 0.04). However, tumor-volume reduction did not correlate with progression-free or overall survival (PFS/OS). Sunitinib therapy resulted in a reduction in median solid tumor diffusivity D from 1298x10-6 to 1200x10-6mm2/s (p = 0.03); a larger decrease was associated with a better RECIST response (p = 0.02) and longer PFS (p = 0.03) on the log-rank test. An increase in R2* from 19 to 28s-1 (p = 0.001) was observed, paralleled by a decrease in Ktrans from 0.415 to 0.305min-1 (p = 0.01) and a decrease in perfusion fraction from 0.34 to 0.19 (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Physiological imaging confirmed efficacy of the anti-angiogenic agent 12 days after initiating therapy and demonstrated response to treatment. The change in diffusivity shortly after starting pre-surgical sunitinib correlated to PFS in mRCC undergoing nephrectomy, however, no parameter predicted OS. TRIAL REGISTRATION EudraCtNo: 2005-004502-82.

Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Targeted Therapy in Treatment of Patients with Localised Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma. Adv Urol 2021; 2021:6674637. [PMID: 34012466 PMCID: PMC8105117 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6674637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2020] [Revised: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Aim This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant targeted therapy (TT) in patients with localised clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Materials and Methods A special randomised trial was planned and conducted by the Research Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Oncology in the National Cancer Institute of Ukraine for testing the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant TT in the treatment of clear-cell localised RCC, and the primary endpoint was tumour response evaluation after TT. The secondary endpoints included evaluation of dependence between the use of neoadjuvant TT and the probability of partial nephrectomy and the correlation between tumour size, stage, remaining functioning parenchyma volume, and response to systemic therapy. Results Overall, 118 patients met the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to receive combined treatment or surgery alone. The percentage of tumour regression ranged from 0% to 60%, and the median was (95% confidence interval) 20.5 ± 14.3 (16.8–24.3%). Most of the patients had a slightly positive response to TT (3%–29% decrease in tumour size); n = 44 (76.9%) cases. Partial response by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours, version 1.1, was observed in 14 (24.1%) patients and reached a maximum of 60% regression. Tumour reduction in the neoadjuvant TT group allowed kidney preservation in 53 (91.4%) patients. In the control group, the number of organ-sparing procedures was significantly lower (n = 20, 33.3%). The statistical difference was relevant (x2 = 42.1; p < 0.001). Conclusion The positive results of neoadjuvant TT obtained in our study indicate the clinical validity of combined treatment in patients with localised RCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Preoperative models, based on patient and tumor characteristics, predict risk for adverse outcomes after nephrectomy. Changes in renal tumor characteristics over the last decades, warrant further evaluation using contemporary cohorts. We aimed to validate a previously published preoperative nomogram predicting 12-year metastasis-free probability after nephrectomy for localized renal tumors in a contemporary cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS After obtaining institutional review board approval, data of 1,760 patients who underwent nephrectomy for a localized renal mass between 2005 and 2011 were reviewed. Preoperative images were evaluated for the presence of tumor necrosis, lymphadenopathy, and tumor size. The study outcome was metastatic-free probability. Model discrimination was assessed with Gönen and Heller's concordance probability estimate, and calibration was evaluated. RESULTS The cohort included 1,102 male and 658 female patients with a median age of 60 years. Most patients presented incidentally (84%). On imaging, 3% had evidence of lymphadenopathy, 55% had necrosis and median tumor diameter was 3.7 cm (interquartile range [IQR]: 2.5, 5.5). Median follow-up in non-metastatic patients was 7.7 years (IQR: 5.3, 9.7). Estimated 12-year metastatic-free probability was 88% (86%-90%). The model showed strong discrimination (concordance probability estimate [CPE]: 0.77), and fair calibration. The time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed strong discrimination at all-time points and the area under the curve (AUC) for year 12 was 0.83 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.78-0.89). CONCLUSIONS We validated the preoperative nomogram of 12-year metastasis-free probability in a contemporary cohort despite different tumor characteristics. Future studies should evaluate the role of preoperative risk stratification in patient selection for neoadjuvant treatment.

Abstract
Advanced renal cell carcinoma is not uncommon, but necessitates a multidisciplinary approach for optimal treatment. Targeted therapy has increased the likelihood of urologists managing patients in all disease stages. Neoadjuvant therapy is currently experimental. Systemic therapy for metastatic disease demonstrates survival benefits. The role of cytoreductive nephrectomy and adjuvant therapy is dependent on patient selection. Management of advanced renal cell carcinoma involves continued optimization of available agents and biomarker development. This article reviews the role of the urologist in medical and surgical therapies, including prognostication, management of locally advanced and metastatic disease, and provides the most recent clinical trial data.

Abstract
There has been strong interest in using neoadjuvant therapy to decrease recurrence rates and facilitate surgical resection in locally advanced renal cell carcinoma. To date, no evidence exists to support improvement in oncologic outcomes with neoadjuvant therapy. Likewise, although targeted therapies have shown efficacy in tumor downsizing, this does not often translate to downstaging. Use of presurgical therapy for the purpose of downstaging inferior vena cava tumor thrombi is currently not supported. Future studies evaluating the benefit of newer immune checkpoint inhibitors will determine if there is a larger role for neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Although axitinib shows a good objective response rate and acceptable tolerability for advanced renal cell carcinoma, substantial differences in drug concentrations among individuals have hampered the reliable administration of the drug in a neoadjuvant setting. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between axitinib pharmacokinetics and clinical efficacy in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma treated in a neoadjuvant setting. We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients who underwent neoadjuvant axitinib treatment from prospective phase 2 study cohorts treated with axitinib and assessed whether the drug concentration was associated with clinical efficacy for primary tumors of advanced metastatic/oligometastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Axitinib was administered orally at a starting dose of 5 mg twice daily for 2 months in principle before the operation, and the axitinib pharmacokinetics were examined. Best response, reduction rate, adverse events (AEs), and surgical complication were assessed. Four patients (25.0%) showed a partial response, and 12 (75.0%) had stable disease, with a mean reduction rate of 22.8%. No progressive disease was noted, and 9 of the 16 patinets (56.3%) showed downstaging. The trough level of axitinib significantly correlated with the objective response rate (P = .0052) and best tumor reduction (P = .0128). All AEs could be safely managed until termination of the dosing period. With respect to perioperative complications, grade 2 anemia was observed. Neoadjuvant axitinib treatment showed acceptable antitumor activity and safety profile for advanced renal cell carcinoma. The pharmacokinetics of neoadjuvant axitinib influenced the efficacy in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The primary objective of this study was to evaluate outcomes and prognosticators in patients who underwent radical nephrectomy (RN) or cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN), depending on the clinical stage of disease preoperatively, with a pathological T4 (pT4) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) outcome. There is little data on the outcome of this specific subset of patients. METHODS From 2009-2016, we identified patients in the Canadian Kidney Cancer information system (CKCis) who underwent RN or CN and were found to have pT4 RCC. Clinical, operative, and pathological variables were analyzed with univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to identify factors associated with overall survival (OS). Survival curves were created using Kaplan-Meier methods and compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS A total of 82 patients were included in the study cohort. Median patient age was 62 years (interquartile range [IQR] 55, 70). Fifty (61%) patients had clear-cell histology and 14 (17%) had sarcomatoid characteristics. Median followup was 12 months (IQR 3, 24). At last followup, eight (10%) patients are alive with no evidence of disease, 27 (33%) are alive with disease, four (5%) were lost to followup, 36 (44%) died of disease, and seven (8%) died of other causes. Tumor histological subtype (clear-cell vs. non-clear-cell) (p=0.0032), larger tumor size (cm) (p=0.012), and Fuhrman grade (G4 vs. G2-G3) (p=0.045) were significantly associated with mortality in a multivariable Cox regression model. CONCLUSIONS For patients with pT4 RCC after RN or CN, survival is poor. Sarcomatoid features, non-clear-cell histology, and presence of systemic symptoms were associated with worse OS.

Abstract
A 55-year-old man with a solitary kidney was diagnosed with an 8.5 cm renal cell carcinoma in the right kidney without metastasis. Twenty five months of sunitinib treatment reduced the tumor from 8.5 to 5.5 cm and enabled nephron-sparing surgery. He has no evidence of recurrence 58 months after the surgery.

Abstract
The advent of molecular therapy through targeted kinase inhibitors (TKI) has revolutionized the management of renal cell carcinoma. Although surgical resection remains the cornerstone of any therapeutic plan, an increased risk of morbidity and mortality can be of concern in large and complex bulky tumors. Preoperative therapy with TKIs is hypothesized to facilitate resectability, reduce surgical morbidity and allow nephron-sparing surgery. Many concerns on the safety, efficacy and tolerability of these agents before surgery have halted the progress in this setting. In this paper, we will review the indications and safety of preoperative TKIs in RCC as well as the future approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) has been shown to provide prognostic information in several cancers. The objective in the study is to examine the prognostic value of CAR in patients with RCC who underwent nephrectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The record data from multi-institutional study of 1,028 patients was analyzed in the study. The cut-off value of the CAR was defined by receive operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated, and univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to assess the predictive value of the variables including CAR. RESULT The optimal cut-off value of 0.073 in CAR was defined according to the ROC analysis. The AUC in CAR for CSS was greater than that of NLR and PLR, and that for RFS was also greater than GPS and mGPS. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the CAR was an independent prognostic factor for OS (P < 0.001), CSS (P < 0.001) in total cohort and RFS (P = 0.029) in nonmetastatic cohort. CONCLUSION The findings of the present study suggested that the preoperative CAR is an independent prognostic indicator of OS, CSS and RFS for patients with RCC. Since CAR can be assessed prior to surgery, clinicians should this take into account for the treatment decision making.

Abstract
Systemic therapy strategies in the setting of localized and locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have continued to evolve in two directions: as adjuvant therapy (to reduce risk of recurrence or progression in high risk localized groups), or as neoadjuvant therapy as a strategy to render primary renal tumors amenable to planned surgical resection in settings where radical resection or nephron-sparing surgery was not thought to be safe or feasible. In the realm of adjuvant therapy, the results of phase III randomized clinical trials have been mixed and contradictory; nonetheless based on the findings of the landmark S-TRAC study, the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Sunitinib has been approved as an adjuvant agent in the United States. In the realm of neoadjuvant therapy, presurgical tumor reduction has been demonstrated in a number of phase II studies utilizing targeted molecular agents. The advent of immunomodulation through checkpoint inhibition as first line therapy for metastatic RCC represents an exciting horizon for adjuvant and neoadjuvant strategies. This article reviews the current status and future prospects of adjuvant and neoadjuvant immunotherapy in localized and locally advanced RCC.

Sunitinib Prior to Planned Nephrectomy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma: Angiogenesis Biomarkers Predict Clinical Outcome in the Prospective Phase II PREINSUT Trial. Clin Cancer Res 2018; 24:5534-5542. [PMID: 30061359 DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-18-1045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2018] [Revised: 06/22/2018] [Accepted: 07/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Purpose: The PREINSUT study characterized factors predictive of response to sunitinib given before planned nephrectomy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).Patients and Methods: This French multicenter, prospective, open-label, phase II trial (NCT00930345) included treatment-naïve patients with clear-cell mRCC. Patients received two cycles of sunitinib before nephrectomy. The primary objective was to evaluate the potential of circulating angiogenesis-related biomarkers measured before and on treatment for identifying responders based on primary renal tumor (PRT) size change. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the ability of biomarkers to predict progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Results: Thirty-two patients were enrolled. The median PFS was 4.5 months, and the median OS was 12.4 months. OS was significantly longer in responding patients (28.8 vs. 11.1 months; P = 0.03). Of 27 patients evaluable for PRT response, nine (33.3%) had a ≥10% decrease in PRT size. Baseline biomarkers significantly associated with outcome were endothelial progenitor cells (PRT response); vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), soluble VEGF receptors (sVEGFR)1 and 2 (PFS); and SDF-1 and sVEGFR1 (OS). During treatment, changes in biomarkers associated with outcome were SDF-1 and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB (PRT response), sVEGFR2 (PFS), and SDF-1 and sVEGFR1 (OS). There was no correlation between plasma sunitinib or its active metabolite steady-state trough concentrations and clinical outcome.Conclusions: Angiogenesis-related parameters that could reflect hypoxia seem to be associated with worse outcome in mRCC. As blood biomarkers are not subjected to tumor heterogeneity and allow longitudinal follow-up, circulating angiogenesis profile has a promising place in antiangiogenic therapy guidance.

Abstract
Current therapies of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a highly vascularised tumour, mostly rely on anti-angiogenic treatment options. These include tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and anti-VEGF monoclonal antibodies. Although these strategies aim at restraining vascularisation to control tumour growth, the effects of such therapies are much wider, as affecting the vessel structure deeply modifies the microenvironment of the tumour mass. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of current knowledge on the global effects of anti-angiogenic treatment, mostly TKIs, on the shaping of the immune component of the RCC microenvironment. The data supporting the modification of immunity by anti-angiogenic therapies are collected to reveal the potential of angiogenesis modulation as a strategy for the adjuvant anti-cancer approach in immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background Locally advanced and metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is associated with poor survival outcomes. The integration of presurgical systemic therapy with targeted molecular agents prior to surgical resection of RCC tumors has been utilized to improve on these outcomes. These agents may be associated with an increased risk of perioperative complications due to their action on angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Objective To examine the evidence for the incidence and severity of perioperative complications following presurgical targeted therapy for locally advanced or metastatic RCC. Methods We performed a systematic review of retrospective studies, prospective clinical trials, and meta-analyses using key search terms in PubMed and Medline. Studies were screened for eligibility and data were extracted by the authors. A qualitative analysis was performed and the complications for available targeted agents was reported. Results Retrospective analyses and small prospective trials indicate varying complication rates and types based on presurgical therapies. While some studies indicate a possible increase in wound-related complications, other studies did not show similar results. Additional unique complications reported include an increase in surgical adhesions. There was not any significant difference in overall or bleeding complications. Conclusions Overall, these studies demonstrate an acceptable level of surgical complications that should not discourage the clinician considering presurgical therapy. The results of pending trials looking at presurgical therapies will provide further information.

Abstract
Introduction The combination of platelet count and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (COP-NLR) has been shown to provide prognostic information in several cancers, whereas its prognostic value in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has not been reported. The objective of the present study was to examine the preoperative prognostic value of the COP-NLR in patients with localized RCC undergoing nephrectomy. Material and Methods The record of 268 patients, who underwent nephrectomy due to a diagnosis of RCC at our institute was analyzed in the study. The cut-off value of platelet count and NLR were defined by receive operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and the areas under the curve (AUC). Patients with both an increased platelet count (> 310×109/l) and an elevated NLR (> 3.85) were assigned to the score 2, and patients with one or neither of these indicators were assigned to the score 1 or 0, respectively. The impact of the COP-NLR and other clinicopathological characteristics on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were evaluated using the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Result The median follow-up duration after surgical resection was 60 months. Multivariate analysis using the 10 clinicopathological findings selected by univariate analyses demonstrated that the preoperative COP-NLR was an independent prognostic factor for OS (HR: 2.32, 95%CI: 1.22 to 4.26, p=0.011) and RFS (HR: 1.91, 95%CI: 1.02 to 3.53, p=0.044). Conclusion The findings of the current study suggested that the preoperative COP-NLR is an independent prognostic indicator of OS and RFS for patients with localized RCC.

Postoperative Adjuvant Sorafenib or Sunitinib for Nonmetastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma with Venous Tumor Thrombus: a Prospective Cohort Study. Transl Oncol 2017; 10:949-955.

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of antiangiogenic agents (sorafenib and sunitinib) as postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and venous tumor thrombus (VTT). MATERIAL AND METHODS: From March 2006 to January 2016, 147 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled; 27 patients received sorafenib, and 17 patients received sunitinib. After radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy, the duration of maintenance targeted medication treatment was approximately 1 year. The primary objective was to compare disease-free survival (DFS) between each experimental group and control. Secondary end points included overall survival (OS) and toxic effects. RESULTS: The three groups were well balanced in terms of age, body mass index, gender, performance status, medical history, American Society of Anesthesiologists score, surgical approach, and tumor side and size. However, more patients receiving adjuvant therapy had inferior vena cava tumor thrombus. DFS and OS did not differ significantly between groups (P = .459 and .871, respectively). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, results of multivariate analysis proved that postoperative adjuvant therapy was not an independent factor for predicting DFS and OS (P > .05 for both). The subgroup analyses for inferior vena cava tumor thrombus found similar results. The common adverse events were hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea, fatigue, and neutropenia. The adverse effects were mild in both groups, and the incidence was not significantly different between sorafenib and sunitinib. CONCLUSIONS: Adjuvant treatment postoperatively with sorafenib or sunitinib showed no survival benefit relative to control for patients with nonmetastatic RCC and VTT in a prospective cohort study.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant Targeted Molecular Therapy in the setting of localized and locally advanced renal cell carcinoma has emerged as a strategy to render primary renal tumors amenable to planned surgical resection in settings where radical resection or nephron-sparing surgery was not thought to be safe or feasible. Presurgical tumor reduction has been demonstrated in a number of studies including a recently published randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study, and an expanding body of literature suggests benefit in select patients. Nonetheless, most reports are small phase II clinical trials or retrospective reports. Thus, large randomized clinical trial data are not present to support this approach, and guidelines for use of presurgical therapy have not been promulgated. The advent of immunomodulation through checkpoint inhibition represents an exciting horizon for neoadjuvant strategies. This article reviews the current status and future prospects of neoadjuvant therapy in nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Sunitinib is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor endowed mainly by antiangiogenic effects, although an indirect inhibitory effect on tumor growth and, more recently, a complex activity on antitumor immune response has been described. From approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2006, sunitinib represents a key molecule in the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) due to the peculiar molecular pathogenesis of this neoplasm. Over the past 10 years, clinical trials and real-world experiences helped clinicians to understand how, when and for how long to use sunitinib. Although a huge amount of data evidenced the relationship existing between sunitinib dose intensity and improved clinical outcome, the management of sunitinib-induced adverse events is often complex; thus, alternative schedules have been proposed over time which allow increased tolerability, without decreased daily sunitinib exposure, leading to improved clinical outcomes. To date, combinations of sunitinib with other approved targeted agents did not demonstrate any significant benefit over its single-agent use, mainly due to tolerability issues. Sunitinib has also been tested in the adjuvant setting, within the ASSURE and S-TRAC trials, with opposite results; indeed, equivocal risk-stratification criteria, as well as immature overall survival (OS) data prevent any definitive conclusion on this important issue. Despite being on the market for a long time, sunitinib still plays a role as the 'comparator arm' of a number of trials in the field of mRCC. Combinations with immune checkpoint inhibitors and vaccines look promising; once again, sunitinib can help us to optimize mRCC management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer (mccRCC) portends a poor prognosis and urgently requires better clinical tools for prognostication as well as for prediction of response to treatment. Considerable investment in molecular risk stratification has sought to overcome the performance ceiling encountered by methods restricted to traditional clinical parameters. However, replication of results has proven challenging, and intratumoural heterogeneity (ITH) may confound attempts at tissue-based stratification. METHODS We investigated the influence of confounding ITH on the performance of a novel molecular prognostic model, enabled by pathologist-guided multiregion sampling (n = 183) of geographically separated mccRCC cohorts from the SuMR trial (development, n = 22) and the SCOTRRCC study (validation, n = 22). Tumour protein levels quantified by reverse phase protein array (RPPA) were investigated alongside clinical variables. Regularised wrapper selection identified features for Cox multivariate analysis with overall survival as the primary endpoint. RESULTS The optimal subset of variables in the final stratification model consisted of N-cadherin, EPCAM, Age, mTOR (NEAT). Risk groups from NEAT had a markedly different prognosis in the validation cohort (log-rank p = 7.62 × 10-7; hazard ratio (HR) 37.9, 95% confidence interval 4.1-353.8) and 2-year survival rates (accuracy = 82%, Matthews correlation coefficient = 0.62). Comparisons with established clinico-pathological scores suggest favourable performance for NEAT (Net reclassification improvement 7.1% vs International Metastatic Database Consortium score, 25.4% vs Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center score). Limitations include the relatively small cohorts and associated wide confidence intervals on predictive performance. Our multiregion sampling approach enabled investigation of NEAT validation when limiting the number of samples analysed per tumour, which significantly degraded performance. Indeed, sample selection could change risk group assignment for 64% of patients, and prognostication with one sample per patient performed only slightly better than random expectation (median logHR = 0.109). Low grade tissue was associated with 3.5-fold greater variation in predicted risk than high grade (p = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS This case study in mccRCC quantitatively demonstrates the critical importance of tumour sampling for the success of molecular biomarker studies research where ITH is a factor. The NEAT model shows promise for mccRCC prognostication and warrants follow-up in larger cohorts. Our work evidences actionable parameters to guide sample collection (tumour coverage, size, grade) to inform the development of reproducible molecular risk stratification methods.

Abstract
The past decade has seen a rapid proliferation in the number and types of systemic therapies available for renal cell carcinoma. However, surgery remains an integral component of the therapeutic armamentarium for advanced and metastatic kidney cancer. Cytoreductive surgery followed by adjuvant cytokine-based immunotherapy (predominantly high-dose interleukin 2) has largely given way to systemic-targeted therapies. Metastasectomy also has a role in carefully selected patients. Additionally, neoadjuvant systemic therapy may increase the feasibility of resecting the primary tumor, which may be beneficial for patients with locally advanced or metastatic disease. Several prospective trials examining the role of adjuvant therapy are underway. Lastly, the first immune checkpoint inhibitor was approved for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) in 2015, providing a new treatment mechanism and new opportunities for combining systemic therapy with surgery. This review discusses current and historical literature regarding the surgical management of patients with advanced and mRCC and explores approaches for optimizing patient selection.

Abstract
PURPOSE: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common tumor of the kidney. Considering the TNM classification of 2009, locally advanced and metastatic diseases are included in the groups stage III and IV. The surgical treatment of these tumors could be divided into 3 categories: (1) curative (nephrectomy and/or metastasectomy), (2) cytoreductive, and (3) palliative. Targeted agents showed impressive antitumor efficacy and prolongation of progression-free survival. The integration between target therapy and surgery in patients with locally advanced or metastatic RCC has sometimes facilitated surgery. We aimed to evaluate patients' response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy and the feasibility of surgery after that and to observe complications related to surgery. METHODS: From February 2007 to September 2014 in the Istituto Tumori of Milan, IRCCS, we selected patients with locally advanced or metastatic diseases, treated with target therapy before surgery (which comprised nephrectomy or partial nephrectomy, cytoreductive surgery, and metastasectomy) and cryoablation. RESULTS: We selected 33 patients who underwent surgery after TKI therapy. As for response to TKIs, 20 patients (60%) had stable disease, 9 patients (28%) had a partial response, and 4 patients (12%) had progressive disease. A total of 17 patients (51%) presented complications directly or indirectly related to surgery and most of those were classified as grade II Clavien-Dindo score. CONCLUSIONS: The association between TKI and surgery seems to have no contraindications. Our dataset provides an example of how surgery after TKI is possible in locally advanced metastatic tumor and does not have an excessive rate of postoperative complications.

Study of the Kidney Tumor-Parenchymal Interface after Neoadjuvant Treatment with Axitinib for Locally Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Matched Analysis from a Phase II Trial.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate histological changes in the tumor-parenchymal interface in clear cell renal cell carcinoma after neoadjuvant axitinib treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We obtained clinical and pathology materials from 23 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant axitinib in a phase II clinical trial and from 23 matched patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who underwent upfront surgery. Histology of the tumor pseudocapsule and the peritumor kidney parenchymal change was evaluated and compared between the 2 cohorts. RESULTS A tumor pseudocapsule was noted in all 23 patients who received neoadjuvant axitinib and in all 23 control patients. Most pseudocapsules were noncontinuous and only partially covered the tumor, including in 17 of 23 axitinib cases (74%) and 19 of 23 controls (83%). In axitinib cases the median thickness of the intrarenal and extrarenal pseudocapsule was 1.4 and 2.4 mm, respectively, which was significantly thicker than in control cases (intrarenal p = 0.0008 and extrarenal p <0.0001). The thickness of the pseudocapsule in axitinib treated cases was more frequently irregular compared to that in controls (16 of 23 or 70% and 9 of 23 or 39%, respectively, p = 0.0746). Inflammation, nephrosclerosis, glomerulosclerosis and arteriosclerosis decreased with increasing distance from the tumor edge in the neoadjuvant axitinib and control groups. CONCLUSIONS The tumor pseudocapsule becomes irregularly thick after neoadjuvant axitinib therapy. Although axitinib likely evokes a strong fibrous reaction in the tumor-parenchymal interface, it does not affect the frequency of infiltrative tumor invasion to the outside of the pseudocapsule or the degree of atrophic/inflammatory change in tissue surrounding the tumor. These findings support the notion that partial nephrectomy could be safely done in well selected patients after neoadjuvant axitinib.

Abstract
In the past decade, the armamentarium of targeted therapy agents for the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has significantly increased. Improvements in response rates and survival, with more manageable side effects compared with interleukin 2/interferon immunotherapy, have been reported with the use of targeted therapy agents, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib, axitinib), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors (everolimus and temsirolimus) and VEGF receptor antibodies (bevacizumab). Current guidelines reflect these new therapeutic approaches with treatments based on risk category, histology and line of therapy in the metastatic setting. However, while radical nephrectomy remains the standard of care for locally advanced RCC, the migration and use of these agents from salvage to the neoadjuvant setting for large unresectable masses, high-level venous tumor thrombus involvement, and patients with imperative indications for nephron sparing has been increasingly described in the literature. Several trials have recently been published and some are still recruiting patients in the neoadjuvant setting. While the results of these trials will inform and guide the use of these agents in the neoadjuvant setting, there still remains a considerable lack of consensus in the literature regarding the effectiveness, safety and clinical utility of neoadjuvant therapy. The goal of this review is to shed light on the current body of evidence with regards to the use of neoadjuvant treatments in the setting of locally advanced RCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate how many patients could have undergone partial nephrectomy (PN) rather than radical nephrectomy (RN) before and after neoadjuvant axitinib therapy, as assessed by five independent urological oncologists, and to study the variability of inter-observer agreement. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pre- and post-systemic treatment computed tomography scans from 22 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma in a phase II neoadjuvant axitinib trial were reviewed by five independent urological oncologists. R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score and κ statistics were calculated. RESULTS The median R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry score changed from 11 before treatment to 10 after treatment (P = 0.002). Five tumours with moderate complexity before axitinib treatment remained moderate complexity after treatment. Of 17 tumours with high complexity before axitinib treatment, three became moderate complexity after treatment. The overall κ statistic was 0.611. Moderate-complexity κ was 0.611 vs a high-complexity κ of 0.428. Before axitinib treatment the κ was 0.550 vs 0.609 after treatment. After treatment with axitinib, all five reviewers agreed that only five patients required RN (instead of eight before treatment) and that 10 patients could now undergo PN (instead of three before treatment). The odds of PN feasibility were 22.8-times higher after treatment with axitinib. CONCLUSIONS There is considerable variability in inter-observer agreement on the feasibility of PN in patients treated with neoadjuvant targeted therapy. Although more patients were candidates for PN after neoadjuvant axitinib therapy, it remains difficult to identify these patients a priori.
