Impact of cytoreductive nephrectomy in patients with primary metastatic renal cell carcinoma receiving systemic tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy: A multicenter retrospective study. Int J Urol 2020; 28:369-375. [PMID: 33314387 DOI: 10.1111/iju.14466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/15/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare overall survival between patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated by cytoreductive nephrectomy and those not treated by cytoreductive nephrectomy. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 278 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors between January 2008 and November 2019. Patients were divided into two groups: a cytoreductive nephrectomy group (immediate or deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy) and a group who received systemic tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies alone without cytoreductive nephrectomy (control group). Overall survival comparisons were made in all patients in the control versus the cytoreductive nephrectomy group, the control versus the immediate cytoreductive nephrectomy group, the control versus the deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy group, and the deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy versus the immediate cytoreductive nephrectomy group. Analyses were weighted using the propensity score-based inverse probability of treatment weighting method to adjust for group imbalances. RESULTS The median (range) age of the patients was 65 (59-73) years. Of the 278 patients, 132 and 146 were in the control group and the cytoreductive nephrectomy (immediate, n = 107 and deferred, n = 39) group, respectively. A significant difference was noted between the control and cytoreductive nephrectomy groups in age, clinical stage, International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium risk factors, and the number of metastatic sites. Inverse probability of treatment weighting-adjusted Cox regression analysis showed a significant difference in overall survival between the control and the cytoreductive nephrectomy groups and between the control and the immediate or deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy groups. However, there was no significant difference in overall survival between the immediate and the deferred cytoreductive nephrectomy groups. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients undergoing cytoreductive nephrectomy are more likely to have longer overall survival than those who receive tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy only.

Abstract
Background/ Aim: We evaluated surgical outcomes following nephrectomy and thrombectomy with and without presurgical treatment with pazopanib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena caval tumor thrombosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared surgical outcomes between patients undergoing presurgical treatment with pazopanib vs. surgery-alone in 19 patients who underwent surgery for advanced renal cell carcinoma with high-level inferior vena caval tumor thrombosis at the Kobe University Hospital. RESULTS Comparing the presurgical group with the surgery-alone group, respectively, the average operative time was 497 min vs. 627 min (p=0.08); average blood loss was 1,928 ml vs. 7,393 ml (p<0.05); average postoperative hospitalization duration was 15.3 days vs. 21.6 days (p=0.05); and the perioperative complication rate was lower (presurgical: 33% vs. surgery-alone: 50%). CONCLUSION Presurgical treatment with pazopanib decreased surgical difficulty and improved surgical outcomes for advanced renal cell carcinoma with high-level inferior vena caval tumor thrombosis.

Abstract
In the past two decades, the treatment landscape for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma has significantly changed thanks to the approval of several targeted molecular therapies (VEGF and mTOR inhibitors) and recently immune-checkpoint inhibitors. The Italian Association of Medical Oncology (AIOM) Renal Cell Cancer (RCC) Guidelines Panel has developed clinical guidelines to provide evidence-based information and recommendations to oncologists, urologists and all professionals involved in the management of patients with renal cell cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To perform immune-cell enumeration and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (cc-RCC) with tumor thrombus (TT) to guide therapeutic decisions. METHODS After obtaining IRB approval and surgical consent, 6 patients underwent radical nephrectomy with venous tumor thrombectomy. We utilized RNA Sequencing to obtain RNAseq expression profiles. Computational calculation and enumeration of immune cells were performed using CIBERSORT, xCell, and ingenuity pathway analysis software. Statistical assessment was conducted using a t test, chi-square, ANOVA and Spearman rank correlations using SPSS v21. RESULTS We observed a higher proportion of M1 macrophages in the primary tumor and tumor thrombus, while we noted no difference in M2 macrophages despite M2 representing a high number in thrombus samples. (ANOVA, P = .032, and P = .89, respectively). Validation with xCell and ingenuity pathway analysis analysis showed a high involvement of macrophages. We observed a higher number of M1 macrophages (CIBERSORT mean 0.11 vs 0.03, P < 0.01) and (nonactivated) resting Natural Killer (NK) cells (0.077 vs 0.017, P = .02) associated PD-L1 high expression of the primary tumor. PDL1 expression was variable without differences in tumor stage, level, or immune cell detection. We observed an inverse correlation of mean platelet volume with PD-L1 expression within the primary tumor (Spearman, -0.89, P = 02) and the TT (Spearman, -0.77, P = 0.07). CONCLUSION Renal tumor thrombus has higher levels of M1 macrophages that could be utilized as additional targets for future drug development. The PD-L1 expression on clear cell RCC biopsy may not represent its corresponding TT. Future studies are needed to confirm mean platelet volume as a potential blood-based biomarker for PD-L1 expression in RCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical benefits of presurgical axitinib therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) extending into the inferior vena cava (IVC) remain unclear. We aimed to investigate surgical benefits and pathological antitumor effects of presurgical axitinib therapy for RCC with IVC thrombus. METHODS Of 56 consecutive RCC patients with IVC thrombus between January 1994 and December 2016, 41 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy (RN) were categorized as upfront RN (Upfront group) or presurgical axitinib followed by RN (Presurgical group). We retrospectively evaluated safety, radiologic tumor responses, and Ki-67 proliferation index before and after axitinib administration in the Presurgical group. Surgical outcomes, postoperative complications, and fibrosis within the IVC thrombus were compared between the Upfront and Presurgical groups. RESULTS The number of patients in the Upfront and Presurgical groups was 31 and 10, respectively. Major presurgical axitinib-related adverse events were grade 2 or 3 hypertension (50%). The median radiological tumor response in the renal tumor, IVC thrombus length, and IVC thrombus volume were -19%, -21 mm, and -54%, respectively. The fibrosis within the IVC thrombus was significantly higher in the Presurgical group (10%) than in the Upfront group (3.4%). The Ki-67 proliferation index was significantly decreased in RN specimens (7.3%) versus needle biopsy specimens (23%) in the Presurgical group. Blood loss and operative duration were significantly lower and shorter, respectively, in the Presurgical group than in the Upfront group. CONCLUSIONS Presurgical axitinib therapy enhanced tumor reduction accompanied by fibrosis and may contribute to surgical risk reduction for selected patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2-cycled neoadjuvant sunitinib therapy (NST) in patients with inoperable metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Between 2009 and 2012, 14 patients with inoperable mRCC from 5 Korean academic centers were prospectively enrolled after collecting their clinicopathological data and completing health-related questionnaires. The best overall response (BOR), safety profile, and changes in quality of life during NST were assessed using the RECIST criteria (version 1.0), CTCAE criteria (version 4.0), and the Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Among the 14 patients, 9 patients (64.3%) experienced partial response or stable disease state, and 5 patients (35.7%) did not complete treatment, with 1 case of disease progression (7.1%), 3 grade 3 adverse events (21.4%), and 1 voluntary withdrawal (7.1%). Four patients (28.6%) were successfully converted to an operable state and underwent surgery after NST. The BOR for the primary renal lesions was 22.2%, with a median 1.3-cm diameter reduction (range: 0-2.8 cm) from a baseline diameter of 10.3 cm (range: 6.6-15.8 cm). The other 18 measurable metastatic lesions exhibited a BOR of 55.6%. The QLQ-C30 questionnaire results revealed significant improvements in the quality of life domain, although we observed significant increases in the scores for fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and the financial effects of NST (P < 0.05). Two-cycle NST provided limited efficacy for resectability of inoperable mRCC, despite mild improvements in the BOR of the primary lesion and quality of life (Clinical Trial Registry 1041140-1).

Abstract
Thousands of cancer patients are currently in clinical trials evaluating antiangiogenic therapy
in the neoadjuvant setting, which is the treatment of localized primary tumors prior to surgical
intervention. The rationale is that shrinking a tumor will improve surgical outcomes and minimize
growth of occult micrometastatic disease—thus delaying post-surgical recurrence and improving
survival. But approved VEGF pathway inhibitors have not been tested in clinically relevant
neoadjuvant models that compare pre- and post-surgical treatment effects. Using mouse models of
breast, kidney, and melanoma metastasis, we demonstrate that primary tumor responses to neoadjuvant
VEGFR TKI treatment do not consistently correlate with improved post-surgical survival, with
survival worsened in certain settings. Similar negative effects did not extend to protein-based VEGF
pathway inhibitors and could be reversed with altered dose, surgical timing, and treatment duration,
or when VEGFR TKIs are combined with metronomic ‘anti-metastatic’ chemotherapy
regimens. These studies represent the first attempt to recapitulate the complex clinical parameters
of neoadjuvant therapy in mice and identify a novel tool to compare systemic antiangiogenic
treatment effects on localized and disseminated disease.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of sorafenib as preoperative neoadjuvant therapy in patients with high risk renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Materials and Methods Clinical data of 18 patients with high risk RCC who received surgery done successfully after preoperative neoadjuvant therapy with sorafenib in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from April 2007 to October 2013 have been reviewed and analyzed in this study. Results Among the 18 patients there were 13 male and 5 female, with a median age of 54.6 years. The objective response rate (ORR) of the operation on the selected patients is very high (94.4%), including 4 cases (22.2%) of partial response (PR) and 13 cases (72.2%) of stable disease (SD). After preoperative sorafenib treatment, the average tumor size of the 18 patients decreased from 7.8 cm (ranging from 3.6 to 19.2 cm) to 6.2 cm (ranging from 2.4 to 16.8 cm), and the median value of average tumor CT value decreased from 61HU to 52 HU. Among the 5 patients who had IVC tumor thrombi, the grades of tumor thrombi in 2 patients who were grade II before sorafenib treatment became grade I and grade 0 respectively, 2 patients of grade III both became grade II. Conclusion Preoperative neoadjuvant therapy with sorafenib for high risk RCC patients can significantly decrease primary tumor volume as well as tumor thrombus, which could help the nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) or radical nephrectomy to be done successfully.

Abstract
Background No case report has yet shown that sunitinib therapy for the postoperative recurrence of renal cancer in a native kidney after renal transplantation can achieve complete response (CR). Case presentation A tumor was detected in the right native kidney of a 35-year-old Japanese male 10 years after renal transplantation. A tumor thrombus that reached the atrium was detected, which suggested cT3cN0M0. Because of the risk of perioperative complications, preoperative therapy with sunitinib was selected and 8 courses were administered. The size of the primary tumor was reduced by 33%, while that of the tumor thrombus was decreased by 39.5%. Right nephrectomy and removal of the tumor thrombus were then performed. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) four months after surgery suggested local relapse. Sunitinib was administered for 9 months, which led to complete response (CR). Conclusions This study presented the case of sunitinib therapy for renal cancer in the native kidney after renal transplantation. The therapeutic efficacy and safety for such cases should be discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Sunitinib therapy showed an improvement in survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS MATERIALS AND METHODS A 51-year-old man, with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Score (ECOG) of 0, presented at our Institute in March 2012 for macrohematuria and urinary retention. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen showed a right renal lesion. The lesion had a diameter of 15 cm and was developing towards the liver, in the absence of cleavage planes between the liver and kidney. A 12 mm finding, suspected as secondary lesion, was detected at the level of the VII hepatic segment. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with Sunitinib was proposed. RESULTS RESULTS The patient underwent a ultrasound-guided biopsy, which confirmed the presence of Clear Cell Carcinoma. The patient began chemotherapy treatment in May 2012 according to the scheme SUNITINIB 50 mg daily for 4 weeks every 6 weeks. After four courses of treatment, according to RECIST criteria for solid tumors, 40% (9 cm vs 15 cm) regression of the primary tumor and 33% (8 mm vs 12 mm) regression of the secondary lesion were observed at a CT scan of the abdomen. In February 2013, Laparoscopic Adrenal-Sparing Radical Nephrectomy was performed. At a follow-up of 3 months, performed with a thorax and abdomen CT scans, there was a complete remission of hepatic secondary lesion and no areas of secondary localization of disease. CONCLUSION CONCLUSION This case report showed the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with Sunitinib. The use of this chemotherapy agent can change the approach to the management of cRCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the influence of different tumor enhancement measurement approaches on the ability of computed tomography (CT) to differentiate between solid forms of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC), other RCC histologic subtypes and oncocytomas. Different RCC subtypes have a diverse range of malignant potential; consequently, the information about RCC subtype obtained using minimally invasive imaging method before the treatment could allow the more accurate therapy planning. Differentiation of ccRCCs from oncocytomas is important because oncocytomas are usually benign tumors which could be treated conservatively. METHODS CT images of 113 patients with 118 solid renal tumors were evaluated. The imaging protocol consisted pre-contrast and post-contrast images during the arterial and nephrographic phases. Renal tumor attenuation values were measured using region of interest covering as much of the solid enhancing tumor tissue as possible. Tumor attenuation values and tumor enhancement ratios were correlated with histologic subtype. One hundred of tumors were diagnosed as clear cell RCC, nine as non-clear cell RCC and nine as oncocytoma. RESULTS Tumor attenuation values of >74 HU on the arterial phase scans significantly correlated with clear cell RCC (Az 0.73). The tumor-to-aorta enhancement ratios calculated on tumor attenuation values measured on the arterial phase scans had a cutoff value of >0.29, which significantly correlated with clear cell RCC (Az 0.79). All ROC curves for differentiating the clear cell RCC from oncocytomas have area under the curve too small (0.5 or less) to have chose cutoff value with sensitivity and specificity that could be applied in clinical work. CONCLUSION Enhancement measurements of renal carcinomas on CT images in the arterial phase can be used as an auxiliary method in the pretreatment differentiation of solid forms of the most frequent RCC subtypes in patients not suitable for core biopsy but who are suitable for minimally invasive treatment methods and/or targeted therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) was historically treated with cytokine therapy with a poor outcome. In the last decade, new therapies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or the mammalian target of rapamycin (m-TOR) pathways demonstrated efficacy in mRCC. Protein kinase inhibitors as well as monoclonal antibodies targeting these pathways have become the standard treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in the first-line setting and beyond. AREAS COVERED This review describes the various Phase III trials concerning protein kinase inhibitors including anti-angiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and m-TOR serine/threonine kinase inhibitors, which have demonstrated a benefit in the treatment of mRCC. It focuses on efficacy, safety and management. EXPERT OPINION VEGF TKI and m-TOR inhibitors have significantly improved the outcome of mRCC and offer a gain in survival by sequential treatments for the majority of patients. But they induce a particular toxicity profile. An adequate management of each drug and its sequence in treatment is essential to optimise the outcome and preserve the quality of life (QoL) of patients with mRCC. In forthcoming years, pending results should indicate whether VEGF TKI are of interest in an adjuvant setting and if new drugs targeting will challenge the current standard guidelines in the metastatic setting.

Abstract
Introduction Despite the introduction of better diagnostic tools, very large kidney tumors are still not so rare in our country. The paper presents our experience in the treatment of 12 patients with kidney tumors larger than 14 cm in size. Material and methods Between spring 2009 and autumn 2011, radical nephrectomies were performed in 12 patients due to a large kidney tumor (larger than 14 cm in size). Symptoms (hematuria, weight loss, anemia, etc.) were not present in all the patients, but the kidney tumor was confirmed by imaging studies (ultrasound, CT, MRI) in all of them. Results Full recovery was observed with no severe complications in all of the patients treated with radical nephrectomy. Pathological staging was correctly established by imaging studies in all of them. After a few months, five of patients (41.6%) required systemic therapy due to lymph node involvement. Conclusions Patients with large kidney tumors should be treated in selected medical centers that have experience in the treatment of such cases. Radical nephrectomy has to be the method of choice in the treatment of patients with this kind of tumor and its diameter should not disqualify from surgical treatment, which is still the only chance for the patients to be cured, as no adjuvant chemotherapy treatment has proved to be significantly effective.
