Implications of bone metastasis on response to systemic therapy in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma: A systematic literature review. Cancer Treat Rev 2024; 129:102792. [PMID: 38972135 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctrv.2024.102792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone metastases negatively affect prognosis in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC). We conducted a systematic literature review to identify clinical trial publications including patients with aRCC with and without bone metastases. METHODS The review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‑Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022355436). MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched (September 2, 2022) to identify publications reporting efficacy and safety outcomes for patients with/without bone metastasis from clinical trials of systemic RCC therapies. Risk of bias was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE). RESULTS Of 526 publications screened, 19 were eligible: seven (from five studies) reported phase 3 trials, six reported phase 2 trials, one reported phase 1b/2 trials, and five were pooled analyses. Five publications reported moderate-quality evidence, while 14 were graded as low- or very low-quality evidence, suggesting a high potential for uncertainty. Five studies reported benefits of investigational therapies versus comparators in patients with and without bone metastases; these studies included cabozantinib, nivolumab, cabozantinib plus nivolumab, and lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab treatment arms. Data were also available for nivolumab plus ipilimumab. Bone metastases were consistently associated with poor prognosis in patients with aRCC. Preliminary data support the hypothesis that therapies targeting pathways implicated in the development of bone metastases may be beneficial, and warrant further investigation. However, data to support treatment decision-making are lacking. CONCLUSION Our findings highlight the need for clinical data to assist in defining the optimal treatment for patients with aRCC and bone metastasis.

Kang HJ, Kim M, Kwak YK, Lee SJ. Predictive Factors and the Role of Conventionally Fractionated Radiation Therapy for Bone Metastasis from Renal Cell Carcinoma in the Era of Targeted Therapy. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:1049. [PMID: 39064478 PMCID: PMC11278518 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60071049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Despite rapid advances in targeted therapies for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), bone metastases remain a major problem that significantly increases morbidity and reduces patients' quality of life. Conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CF-RT) is known to be an important local treatment option for bone metastases; however, bone metastases from RCC have traditionally been considered resistant to CF-RT. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of CF-RT for symptomatic bone metastasis from RCC and identify the predictive factors associated with treatment outcomes in the targeted therapy era. Materials and Methods: Between January 2011 and December 2023, a total of 73 lesions in 50 patients treated with a palliative course of CF-RT for symptomatic bone metastasis from RCC were evaluated, and 62 lesions in 41 patients were included in this study. Forty-five lesions (72.6%) were treated using targeted therapy during CF-RT. The most common radiation dose fractionations were 30 gray (Gy) in 10 fractions (50%) and 39 Gy in 13 fractions (16.1%). Results: Pain relief was experienced in 51 of 62 lesions (82.3%), and the 12-month local control (LC) rate was 61.2%. Notably, 72.6% of the treatment course in this study was combined with targeted therapy. The 12-month LC rate was 74.8% in patients who received targeted therapy and only 10.9% in patients without targeted therapy (p < 0.001). Favorable Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (p = 0.026) and pain response (p < 0.001) were independent predictors of improved LC. Radiation dose escalation improved the LC in radiosensitive patients. A consistent treatment response was confirmed in patients with multiple treatment courses. Conclusions: CF-RT enhances pain relief and LC when combined with targeted therapy. Patients who responded well to initial treatment generally showed consistent responses to subsequent CF-RT for additional painful bone lesions. CF-RT could therefore be an excellent complementary local treatment modality for targeted therapy.

Abstract
Malignancy manifests itself by deregulated growth and the ability to invade surrounding tissues or metastasize to other organs. These properties are due to genetic and/or epigenetic changes, most often mutations. Many aspects of carcinogenesis are known, but the cell of origin has been insufficiently focused on, which is unfortunate since the regulation of its growth is essential to understand the carcinogenic process and guide treatment. Similarly, the concept of cancer stem cells as cells having the ability to stop proliferation and rest in a state of dormancy and being resistant to cytotoxic drugs before "waking up" and become a highly malignant tumor recurrence, is not fully understood. Some tumors may recur after decades, a phenomenon probably also connected to cancer stem cells. The present review shows that many of these questions are related to the cell of origin as differentiated cells being long-term stimulated to proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastasis (BM) is considered a poor prognostic factor of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Confusion exists regarding how to deal with RCC patients with bone-only metastasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS The clinical data of consecutive RCC patients with bone-only metastasis at Peking University Cancer Hospital between 2006 and 2018 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. RESULTS Fifty-four eligible patients were screened from an RCC database of 1,878 metastatic patients. After a median follow-up of 43.6 m, 61.1% of the patients were presented with progression of prior BM or new BM. The progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was 16.2 m (95%CI: 11.4-21.0) and 65.2 m, respectively. For the 30 patients with oligo-metastasis (≤3 loci) and 24 ones with multiple-metastasis (>3 loci), the median OS was not reached and 42.0m (95%CI: 12.7-71.2) with statistical difference (P < 0.001). In the oligo-metastasis group, the median PFS of the 15 patients treated with local therapy and of the 13 patients treated with systemic therapy was 14.2 m (95%CI: 5.3-23.3) and 18.0 m (95%CI:15.4-20.6), respectively. In the multiple-metastasis group, the median PFS and OS of the 18 patients treated with systemic therapy was 16.6 m (95%CI: 7.5-25.7) and 63.9 m (95%CI: 21.8-106.0), respectively. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis showed that the number of metastatic sites (oligo/multiple) and International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) score, RCC pathological subtype were significantly associated with prognosis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION RCC patients with bone-only metastases have a favorable prognosis. The number of metastatic sites, IMDC, RCC pathological subtype could serve as survival predictors, which might provide clue of treatment modality.

Dual ligand-targeted Pluronic P123 polymeric micelles enhance the therapeutic effect of breast cancer with bone metastases. Oncol Res 2024; 32:769-784.

Abstract
Bone metastasis secondary to breast cancer negatively impacts patient quality of life and survival. The treatment of bone metastases is challenging since many anticancer drugs are not effectively delivered to the bone to exert a therapeutic effect. To improve the treatment efficacy, we developed Pluronic P123 (P123)-based polymeric micelles dually decorated with alendronate (ALN) and cancer-specific phage protein DMPGTVLP (DP-8) for targeted drug delivery to breast cancer bone metastases. Doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as the anticancer drug and was encapsulated into the hydrophobic core of the micelles with a high drug loading capacity (3.44%). The DOX-loaded polymeric micelles were spherical, 123 nm in diameter on average, and exhibited a narrow size distribution. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that a pH decrease from 7.4 to 5.0 markedly accelerated DOX release. The micelles were well internalized by cultured breast cancer cells and the cell death rate of micelle-treated breast cancer cells was increased compared to that of free DOX-treated cells. Rapid binding of the micelles to hydroxyapatite (HA) microparticles indicated their high affinity for bone. P123-ALN/DP-8@DOX inhibited tumor growth and reduced bone resorption in a 3D cancer bone metastasis model. In vivo experiments using a breast cancer bone metastasis nude model demonstrated increased accumulation of the micelles in the tumor region and considerable antitumor activity with no organ-specific histological damage and minimal systemic toxicity. In conclusion, our study provided strong evidence that these pH-sensitive dual ligand-targeted polymeric micelles may be a successful treatment strategy for breast cancer bone metastasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors has revolutionized treatment strategies for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and has improved survival rates. The number of patients with bone metastases from RCC requiring surgery will increase as survival rates improve. However, there is insufficient evidence to standardize the treatment of bone metastases after the introduction of targeted therapy for metastatic RCC. We aimed to determine the outcomes of palliative surgical treatment of bone metastases in the extremities of patients with metastatic RCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 26 lesions from 17 patients who underwent surgery for extremity and acetabular bone metastases and were treated with targeted therapies for advanced RCC between 2008 and 2020. The median follow-up duration was 19 months (range, 4-76). We assessed the patients' activities of daily living, quality of life, and pain and analyzed their postoperative values relative to preoperative values. Postoperative overall survival (OS), local progression-free survival (LPFS), and the factors affecting them were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. RESULTS The 5-year OS and LPFS rates were 39.5% and 65.6%, respectively. The factors affecting OS were sex, Katagiri score, visceral metastases, and preoperative targeted therapy, while the factors affecting LPFS were pathologic fractures and surgical technique. CONCLUSION In this study, the postoperative outcomes of palliative surgery for bone metastases from metastatic RCC were good. We suggest that systemic treatment should be prioritized over local control for advanced bone metastasis in RCC and surgery before pathological fracture should be performed for local control.

Abstract
IntroductionBone is a major metastatic site of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recently, it is well recognized that bone metastatic tumor cells remodel bone marrow vasculature. However, the precise mechanism underlying cell-cell communication between bone metastatic RCC and the cells in bone marrow remains unknown. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) reportedly play crucial roles in intercellular communication between metastatic tumor cells and bone marrow. Therefore, we conducted the current study to clarify the histological alteration in vascular endothelium in bone marrow induced by EVs secreted from bone metastatic RCC cells as well as association between angiogenesis in bone marrow and bone metastasis formation.Materials and methodsWe established a bone metastatic RCC cell line (786-O BM) by in vivo selection and observed phenotypic changes in tissues when EVs were intravenously injected into immunodeficient mice. Proteomic analysis was performed to identify the protein cargo of EVs that could contribute to histological changes in bone. Tissue exudative EVs (Te-EVs) from cancer tissues of patients with bone metastatic RCC (BM-EV) and those with locally advanced disease (LA-EV) were compared for in vitro function and protein cargo.ResultsTreatment of mice with EVs from 786-O BM promoted angiogenesis in the bone marrow in a time-dependent manner and increased the gaps of capillary endothelium. 786-O BM EVs also promoted tube formation in vitro. Proteomic analysis of EVs identified aminopeptidase N (APN) as a candidate protein that enhances angiogenesis. APN knockdown in 786-O BM resulted in reduced angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. When parental 786-O cells were intracardially injected 12 weeks after treatment with786-O BM EVs, more bone metastasis developed compared to those treated with EVs from parental 786-O cells. In patient samples, BM-EVs contained higher APN compared to LA-EV. In addition, BM-EVs promoted tube formation in vitro compared to LA-EVs.ConclusionEVs from bone metastatic RCC promote angiogenesis and gap formation in capillary endothelium in bone marrow in a time-dependent manner.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone metastases (BM) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are associated with a poor prognosis based on retrospective studies evaluating antiangiogenic agents. Few data are available regarding immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in patients with bone metastatic RCC. NIVOREN is a multicentre prospective study in which patients were treated with nivolumab after the failure of antiangiogenic agents. We aim to assess the impact of BM on prognosis, and the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in patients enrolled in the NIVOREN trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients with BM at inclusion were included in our study. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), safety, and skeletal-related events (SRE). RESULTS Among 720 patients treated with nivolumab, 194 presented BM at inclusion. The median follow-up was 23.9 months. Median OS was 17.9 months in patients with BM versus 26.1 months in patients without BM (p = 0.0023). The difference was not statistically significant after adjustment (p = 0.0707). The median PFS was shorter in patients with BM even after adjustment (2.8 versus 4.6 months, p = 0.0045), as well as the ORR (14.8% versus 23.3%). SRE occurred for 36% of patients with BM. A post-hoc analysis evaluating the impact of bone-targeting agents (BTA) on SRE incidence showed a significant benefit of BTA on the incidence of SRE (OR = 0.367, CI95% [0.151-0.895]). CONCLUSION Nivolumab is associated with shorter PFS, and lower ORR in RCC patients with BM. Our study suggests that BTA in association with immunotherapy decreases the incidence of SRE.

Effect of Bisphosphonates on Skeletal Related Events in Long Bone Metastases of Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Systematic Review. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2023; 21:e190-e197. [PMID: 36707394 DOI: 10.1016/j.clgc.2022.12.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2022] [Revised: 12/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Bone metastases (BMs) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are lytic lesions which are prone to skeletal related events (SREs) such as (pending) pathological fractures or bone pain requiring radiotherapy or surgery. The aim of this review is to assess whether the use of bisphosphonates in patients with RCC and BMs in the long bones results in reduced SRE rate. A systematic review of literature was conducted, using PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (date 1971 till June 2021). All clinical studies on bisphosphonates in patients with RCC and BMs in long bones were retrieved. Primary outcome measure was SRE rate of BMs in long bones. Secondary outcome was fracture rate of BMs in long bones. Fourteen relevant articles were selected. Bisphosphonates reduced the mean skeletal morbidity rate by 0.4-0.95 SREs/year and had a pooled SRE rate of 38.3% (95% confidence interval [CI] 28.4%-49.3%). When bisphosphonates were added to radiotherapy the pooled SRE rate was 18.4% (95% CI, 10.5%-30.3%). In addition, pooled effect sizes showed a significant SRE risk reduction (RR 0.45, 95% CI, 0.24-0.85) in the bisphosphonates combined with radiotherapy group. There was limited reported data on rate of pathological fractures. In general, bisphosphonates reduce the SRE rate in RCC patients with BMs. The level of evidence for the effect of bisphosphonates on the rate of pathological fractures in patients with long BMs of RCC is low.

Abstract
Recently, the prognosis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has improved owing to the development of immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, there have been few studies on the therapeutic effect of ICIs in bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We report a case in which pulmonary and humeral metastases from RCC were significantly ameliorated using ICIs, while surgery for a pathological fracture of the humerus significantly improved the patient’s quality of life (QoL). A 70-year-old man who underwent a left nephrectomy for RCC developed multiple pulmonary metastases and humeral metastasis with a pathological fracture one year after surgery, and combined treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab was initiated. After four courses of ICI treatment, multiple pulmonary metastases had almost disappeared, and the tumor at the fracture site had shrunk remarkably. However, the shoulder joint function had decreased due to the fracture, worsening his QoL. Therefore, he underwent surgery and returned to normal daily life one month after. Postoperative histopathological examination of bone and soft tissue at the fracture site revealed no malignancy. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of complete remission of bone metastasis of RCC based on histopathological examination with ICI treatment.

Bone-only oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy: a multi-institutional study. Strahlenther Onkol 2022; 198:940-948. [PMID: 35695908 DOI: 10.1007/s00066-022-01962-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Accepted: 05/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to analyze the prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with bone-only metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who have five or fewer lesions treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). METHODS The clinical data of 54 patients with 70 bone metastases undergoing SBRT treated between 2013 and 2020 with a dose of at least 5 Gy per fraction and a biologically effective dose (BED) of at least 90 Gy were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS The majority of lesions were located in the spine (57.4%) and had only one metastasis (64.8%). After a median follow-up of 22.4 months, the 1‑ and 2‑year OS rates were 84.6% and 67.3%, respectively, and median OS was 43.1 months. The 1‑ and 2‑year PFS rates and median PFS were 63.0%, 38.9%, and 15.3 months, respectively. In SBRT-treated lesions, the 1‑year local control (LC) rate was 94.9%. Age, metastasis localization, and number of fractions of SBRT were significant prognostic factors for OS in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, patients with spinal metastasis had better OS compared to their counterparts, and patients who received single-fraction SBRT had better PFS than those who did not. No patient experienced acute or late toxicities of grade 3 or greater. CONCLUSION Despite excellent LC at the oligometastatic site treated with SBRT, disease progression was observed in nearly half of patients 13 months after metastasis-directed local therapy, particularly as distant disease progression other than the treated lesion, necessitating an effective systemic treatment to improve treatment outcomes.

Novel diagnostic model for bone metastases in renal cell carcinoma patients based on bone scintigraphy analyzed by computer-aided diagnosis software and bone turnover markers. Int J Clin Oncol 2022; 27:774-780.

Abstract
Background Computer-assisted diagnosis (CAD) systems for bone scans have been introduced as clinical quality assurance tools, but few studies have reported on its utility for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic validity of the CAD system for bone scans and to construct a novel diagnostic system for bone metastases in RCC patients. Methods We evaluated bone scan images of 300 RCC patients. Artificial neural network (ANN) values, which represent the probability of abnormality, were calculated by BONENAVI, the CAD software for bone scans. By analyzing ANN values, we assessed the diagnostic validity of BONENAVI. Next, we selected 108 patients who underwent measurements of bone turnover markers and assessed the combined diagnostic validity of BONENAVI and bone turnover markers. Results Forty-three out of 300 RCC patients had bone metastases. The AUC of ANN values was 0.764 and the optimum sensitivity and specificity were 83.7 and 62.7%. By logistic analysis of 108 cases, we found that ICTP, a bone resorption marker, could be a diagnostic marker. The AUC of ICTP was 0.776 and the optimum sensitivity and specificity were 57.1 and 86.8%. Subsequently, we developed a novel diagnostic model based on ANN values and ICTP. Using this model, the AUC was 0.849 and the optimum sensitivity and specificity were 76.2 and 80.7%. Conclusion By combining the high sensitivity provided by BONENAVI and the high specificity provided by ICTP, we constructed a novel, high-accuracy diagnostic model for bone metastases in RCC patients.

Abstract
The treatment of bone metastases is a thorny issue. Immunotherapy may be one of the few hopes for patients with unresectable bone metastases. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are the most commonly used immunotherapy drugs currently. In this review, the characteristics and interaction of bone metastases and their immune microenvironment were systematically discussed, and the relevant research progress of the immunological mechanism of tumor bone metastasis was reviewed. On this basis, we expounded the clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors for bone metastasis of common tumors, including non-small-cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer, melanoma, and breast cancer. Then, the deficiencies and limitations in current researches were summarized. In-depth basic research on bone metastases and optimization of clinical treatment is needed.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignancy of the kidney, representing 80-90% of renal neoplasms, and is associated with a five-year overall survival rate of approximately 74%. The second most common site of metastasis is bone. As patients are living longer due to new RCC targeting agents and immunotherapy, RCC bone metastases (RCCBM) treatment failure is more prevalent. Bone metastasis formation in RCC is indicative of a more aggressive disease and worse prognosis. Osteolysis is a prominent feature and causes SRE, including pathologic fractures. Bone metastasis from other tumors such as lung, breast, and prostate cancer, are more effectively treated with bisphosphonates and denosumab, thereby decreasing the need for palliative surgical intervention. Resistance to these antiresportives in RCCBM reflects unique cellular and molecular mechanisms in the bone microenvironment that promote progression via inhibition of the anabolic reparative response. Identification of critical mechanisms underlying RCCBM induced anabolic impairment could provide needed insight into how to improve treatment outcomes for patients with RCCBM, with the goals of minimizing progression that necessitates palliative surgery and improving survival.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) frequently presents with osseous metastasis, predominantly lytic and prone to pathological fracture. The metastatic lesion in the extremity presents with local swelling, pain and immobility due to pathological fracture. The solitary or oligometastatic lesions should be treated with curative intent, which can help the patient to lead a more prolonged and disability-free life. The RCCs and their metastases are hypervascular with an exuberant arterial supply. Surgery can lead to uncontrolled life-threatening haemorrhage. Preoperative transarterial embolisation reduces tumour vascularity significantly and reduces intraoperative blood loss. We present a 46-year-old male patient with solitary hypervascular metastatic recurrence of RCC with a pathological femoral fracture with an infeasible initial surgery due to profuse haemorrhage. He was successfully treated by preoperative transarterial embolisation, followed by surgical resection and implantation of a megaprosthesis. Multidisciplinary management reduces patient morbidity and mortality with successful treatment in solitary hypervascular metastasis from RCC.

Abstract
Bone cancer, both primary and metastatic, is characterized by a low survival rate. Currently, available models lack in mimicking the complexity of bone, of cancer, and of their microenvironment, leading to poor predictivity. Three-dimensional technologies can help address this need, by developing predictive models that can recapitulate the conditions for cancer development and progression. Among the existing tools to obtain suitable 3D models of bone cancer, 3D printing and bioprinting appear very promising, as they enable combining cells, biomolecules, and biomaterials into organized and complex structures that can reproduce the main characteristic of bone. The challenge is to recapitulate a bone-like microenvironment for analysis of stromal-cancer cell interactions and biological mechanics leading to tumor progression. In this review, existing approaches to obtain in vitro 3D-printed and -bioprinted bone models are discussed, with a focus on the role of biomaterials selection in determining the behavior of the models and its degree of customization. To obtain a reliable 3D bone model, the evaluation of different polymeric matrices and the inclusion of ceramic fillers is of paramount importance, as they help reproduce the behavior of both normal and cancer cells in the bone microenvironment. Open challenges and future perspectives are discussed to solve existing shortcomings and to pave the way for potential development strategies.

Abstract
Introduction Renal cell carcinoma is responsible for 3% of all cancers, with the highest incidence occurring in Western countries. Additionally, in patients with osseous metastasis, only 3% occur within the tibia. Rarely, a patient presents with a primary complaint of lower limb pain in advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Case Presentation. The patient arrived at the emergency department with a primary complaint of left ankle pain. Ankle X-rays demonstrated a lytic lesion involving the medial malleolus with possible metastatic disease. CT scan confirmed a tumor within the right kidney. The patient was treated with a laparoscopic radical nephrectomy with histopathologic confirmation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Biopsy was then performed of the tibial lesion, confirming metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The tibial lesion was treated with local radiotherapy, and because of the progression of the tibia lesion, a decision was made to amputate the leg. Additionally, the patient was enrolled to sunitinib treatment and was disease free at one year of follow-up. 13 months after diagnosis of cancer, she was suffering a major stroke of the brain that caused her to die. Conclusion The treatment of patients with osseous metastases of renal cell cancer depends on the number of metastases, location of metastases, and overall health of the patient. We performed an overview of available literature and provided a summary regarding the use of cytoreductive nephrectomy, local therapy, target therapy, and bone-targeting agents in the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer.

Abstract
The efficacy of surgical resection in metastatic renal cell carcinoma is an active and important research field in the postcytokine era. Bone metastases, especially in the spine, compromise patient performance status. Metastasectomy is indicated, if feasible, because it helps to achieve the best clinical outcomes possible compared with other treatments. This study examined the postoperative survival and prognostic factors in patients who underwent metastasectomy of spinal lesions. The retrospective study included 65 consecutive patients with metastatic renal cell carcinomas who were operated on by spinal metastasectomy between 1995 and 2017 at our institution. The cancer‐specific survival times from the first spinal metastasectomy to death or the last follow‐up (≥3 years) were determined using Kaplan‐Meier analysis. Potential factors influencing survival were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard models. Planned surgical resection of all the spine tumors was achieved in all patients. Of these, 38 had complete metastasectomy of all visible metastases, including extraspinal lesions. In all patients, the estimated median cancer‐specific survival time was 100 months. The 3‐, 5‐, and 10‐year cancer‐specific survival rates were 77%, 62%, and 48%, respectively. The survival times after spinal metastasectomy were similar in both cytokine and postcytokine groups. In multivariate analyses, postoperative disability, the coexistence of liver metastases, multiple spinal metastases, and incomplete metastasectomy were significant risk factors associated with short‐term survival. Complete metastasectomy, including extraspinal metastases, was associated with improved cancer‐specific survival. Proper patient selection and complete metastasectomy provide a better prognosis in metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal Cell Carcinomas are notorious for asynchronous metastases, atypical metastatic sites and late relapses even decades after nephrectomy. It is quite rare though for RCCs to present as metastatic, solitary and symptomatic bone lesions. Even more uncommon is a solitary bone metastasis much larger that the primary tumour caused by a low risk primary T1a RCC which would have otherwise been eligible for active surveillance. CASE PRESENTATION An otherwise healthy 68-year-old female was seen by the orthopaedics for right shoulder and upper arm worsening pain. Imaging showed a pathological fracture caused by a 5.5 cm lytic lesion involving the coracoid process and proximal humerus. She underwent proximal humeral replacement and histology of the lesion showed metastatic RCC. Whole body CT scan revealed a primary tumour of the left kidney less than 4cm in diameter. The patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and diagnosis of a T1a, clear cell RCC without adverse pathological features was confirmed. She has been on systematic therapy with oral TKIs since and is free from recurrence at 12-months follow up. CONCLUSIONS Even T1a RCCs without adverse pathological features can give rise to distant metastases following unpredictable patterns of spread thereby questioning the safety of active surveillance in healthy and fit patients.

Abstract
Simple Summary Bone metastases cause substantial morbidity and implicate worse clinical outcomes for clear-cell renal cell carcinoma patients. MicroRNAs are small RNA molecules that modulate gene translation and are involved in the development of cancer and metastasis. We identified six microRNAs that are potentially specifically involved in metastasis to bone, of which two seem protective and four implicate a higher risk. This aids further understanding of the process of metastasizing to bone. Furthermore, these microRNA hold potential for biomarkers or therapeutic targets. Abstract Bone metastasis in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) leads to substantial morbidity through skeletal related adverse events and implicates worse clinical outcomes. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are small non-protein coding RNA molecules with important regulatory functions in cancer development and metastasis. In this retrospective analysis we present dysregulated miRNA in ccRCC, which are associated with bone metastasis. In particular, miR-23a-3p, miR-27a-3p, miR-20a-5p, and miR-335-3p specifically correlated with the earlier appearance of bone metastasis, compared to metastasis in other organs. In contrast, miR-30b-3p and miR-139-3p were correlated with less occurrence of bone metastasis. These miRNAs are potential biomarkers and attractive targets for miRNA inhibitors or mimics, which could lead to novel therapeutic possibilities for bone targeted treatment in metastatic ccRCC.

Androgen receptor decreases renal cell carcinoma bone metastases via suppressing the osteolytic formation through altering a novel circEXOC7 regulatory axis. Clin Transl Med 2021; 11:e353.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has gender differences, with the androgen receptor (AR) linked positively with metastasis to the lung. Its linkage to ccRCC bone metastases (RBMs), however, remains unclear. METHODS In the current study, five human RCC and five RCC bone metastasis tissues were deeply sequenced using Arraystar human circRNA V2.0 microarray. We conducted gain-of-function screening in vitro and in vivo to elucidate the AR's role in the RBM. Loss/gain-of-function was also implemented to verify the roles of related non-coding RNAs and proteins. RESULTS We uncovered that RBM also has a gender difference showing higher AR expression may be linked to fewer RBMs, which might involve suppressing osteolytic formation. Mechanism dissection indicates that AR can decrease the circular RNA EXOC7 (circEXOC7), expression via enhancing transcription of DHX9, a regulatory protein in circRNA biogenesis. The circEXOC7 can sponge/suppress miR-149-3p resulting in suppressing the CSF1 expression by directly binding to the 3'UTR region of CSF1 mRNA. Results from clinical epidemiological surveys also found that AR has a positive correlation with miR-149-3p and a negative correlation with CSF1 in AR-positive ccRCC tissues. Preclinical studies with Balb/c nude mouse model also validated that targeting this newly verified AR/DHX9/circEXOC7/miR-149-3p/CSF1 signaling via altering circEXOC7 or AR could lead to suppressing the RBM progression. CONCLUSIONS These data showed that AR/DHX9/circEXOC7/miR-149-3p/CSF1 signaling acts as a valuable feature in the bone metastasis of renal cancer, which may benefit in suppressing the RBM progression.

The spinal distribution of metastatic renal cell carcinoma: Support for locoregional rather than arterial hematogenous mode of early bony dissemination. Urol Oncol 2021; 39:196.e9-196.e14.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quantifying the degree to which spinal involvement of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is a locoregional phenomenon vs. a hematogenous, bone-specific affinity has implications for prognosis and antimetastatic therapy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution of spinal metastasis in mRCC and to explore relationships between clinical factors and patterns of spinal spread. METHODS Patients with mRCC and spinal involvement from June 2005 to November 2018 were identified. Clinical and biologic features including primary tumor size and degree of spinal and nonbony metastatic involvement were collected. Spinal distributions were evaluated by the permutation test, with the null hypothesis that metastases are distributed uniformly across levels. RESULTS One hundred patients with 685 spinal levels involved by mRCC were evaluated. A nonuniform spatial distribution was observed across the cohort (P < 0.001); a preponderance of thoracolumbar involvement was noted with the mode at L3. No significant deviation in metastatic distribution from uniform was observed in right- or left-sided tumors, subgroups of distant or local metastases, or histology. Patients with smaller tumors (<4 cm) and local spread had distribution of spinal metastases not significantly different from uniform (P = 0.292 and P = 0.126, respectively). CONCLUSIONS These data support a dominant locoregional as opposed to arterial hematogenous mechanism for early spinal dissemination of mRCC. Characterizations of the biologic molecular features contributing to osseous tropism and aggressive tumor biology (as seen in the subset of outlier patients with small tumors who appear to have more uniform spread), have implications for surveillance and are an area of active investigation.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to affect the biological processes of cancers and showed great potential for prognostic biomarkers. In this study, we screened differentially expressed miRNAs in ccRCC based on three dimensions of metastasis, prognosis, and differential expression compared to normal tissue using bioinformatics algorithms. MiR-153-5p was identified as a candidate miRNA to promote ccRCC occurrence and progression. Clinically, we found that miR-153-5p was significantly upregulated and related to unfavorable clinical features in ccRCC. Besides, miR-153-5p served as an independent prognostic biomarker. Functionally, miR-153-5p depletion remarkably inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of ccRCC via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling. Furthermore, AGO1 was proved to be a direct target of miR-153-5p. AGO1 is associated with favorable clinical features and exhibited independent prognostic value in ccRCC. Besides, we observed that AGO1 knockdown significantly promoted tumor proliferation and metastasis. Downregulation of AGO1 partly abolished the oncogenic effects of miR-153-5p knockdown. Furthermore, miR-153-5p combined with AGO1 showed more robust prognostic significance in ccRCC. In conclusion, we found that the newly identified miR-153-5p/AGO1 axis was responsible for tumor occurrence and progression via PI3K/Akt signaling, which may therefore provide promising therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers for patients with ccRCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cabozantinib strongly inhibits osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in vitro. We aimed to evaluate its effect on bone turnover markers (BTMs) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma. METHODS This is a monocentric prospective study on patients with mRCC treated with cabozantinib between October 2016 and July 2018. We collected blood samples at baseline and after 3 and 6 months of treatment. We compared sets of data obtained from plasma samples in the whole population with unpaired 2-tailed Student t tests and data for a subset of patients for which all timepoints were available with paired 2-tailed Student t tests. We used the Kaplan-Meier method for survival analyses and the log-rank test to compare the curves. RESULTS Our analysis included 39 patients. At month 3, the mean C-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type I collagen (CTx) and the mean N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (PINP) levels were significantly decreased in the whole population (p = 0.013 and p < 0.0001, respectively), as well as at paired analysis (p = 0.015 and p = 0.045, respectively). No differences were observed between baseline and 6 months (p = 0.053 and p = 0.087, respectively). After 3 months, the mean parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels significantly increased in the whole population (p = 0.004), as well as at paired analysis; the mean PTH levels increased significantly at 3 and 6 months, respectively (p = 0.019 and p = 0.041, respectively). Changes in BTM levels were not associated with outcome. CONCLUSIONS Cabozantinib significantly reduced bone resorption as demonstrated by the decrease of CTx and showed a transient secondary increase of PTH.

Abstract
Bone is a common metastatic site in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). HGF/c-Met pathway is particularly relevant in tumors with bone metastases. c-Met/HGF pathway is involved in RCC progression, conferring poor prognosis. Several c-Met targeting therapies are currently in clinical development. c-Met expression is an important therapeutic target in RCC with bone metastases.
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met pathway is implicated in embryogenesis and organ development and differentiation. Germline or somatic mutations, chromosomal rearrangements, gene amplification, and transcriptional upregulation in MET or alterations in autocrine or paracrine c-Met signalling have been associated with cancer cell proliferation and survival, including in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and associated with disease progression. HGF/c-Met pathway has been shown to be particularly relevant in tumors with bone metastases (BMs). However, the efficacy of targeting c-Met in bone metastatic disease, including in RCC, has not been proven. Therefore, further investigation is required focusing the particular role of HGF/c-Met pathway in bone microenvironment (BME) and how to effectively target this pathway in the context of bone metastatic disease.

Enlarged bone metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can cause skeletal-related events, and thus treatment to inhibit the growth of bone metastases is often required. Although radiotherapy for RCC bone metastases can achieve a certain degree of local control, evidence is lacking regarding the effects of systemic therapy to improve bone metastasis. The present study aimed to assess the treatment efficacy of targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and to determine whether systemic therapy without radiotherapy can shrink bone metastases of RCC. The present study retrospectively reviewed 44 patients with RCC with bone metastases treated via systemic therapy, including targeted therapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors. Patients were divided into two groups: Those who underwent systemic therapy with radiotherapy for bone lesions (n=29); and those who underwent systemic therapy without radiotherapy for bone lesions (n=15). The radiographical efficacy of systemic therapy and the time to progression of bone metastases were compared between groups. The overall response rate of systemic therapy with radiotherapy was 44%, and in total, 13 patients demonstrated a partial response. Only one patient (6%) had a partial response among those who were treated via systemic therapy without radiotherapy. The time to progression of bone metastasis was 9.5 and 2.1 months in patients treated with and without radiotherapy, respectively (P<0.0001). Collectively, the present results suggested that targeted therapy or immune checkpoint inhibitors without radiotherapy had only a slight effect on bone metastasis control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate postoperative recurrence patterns for high-risk nonmetastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to identify prognostic factors associated with site-specific metastatic recurrence using a multi-institutional contemporary cohort. METHODS Data for nonmetastatic ≥pT3a RCC patients treated with surgery at 4 independent centers was analyzed. Initial recurrence locations were identified, and imaging templates were defined by anatomic landmarks using radiologic definitions. Prognostic factors for site specific recurrence were evaluated with univariate and multivariable analyses. RESULTS A total of 1057 patients were treated surgically for ≥pT3a RCC. Initial recurrence location was in a single site for 160 (59.3%) patients and at multiple locations in 110 (41.7%) patients. The most common sites of metastatic recurrence were lung (144/270, 53.3%), liver (54/270, 20.0%), and bone (48/270, 17.8%). Recurrence was identified in 52 of 270 (19.3%) patients outside the chest/abdomen template, most commonly in the pelvis (25/270, 9.3%). Bone and brain metastases were the most common organs for metastases outside chest/abdomen. Patients with tumor diameter >10 cm and grade 4 were more likely to recur in the bone (HR 3.61, P <.001) and brain (HR 16.5, P <.001). CONCLUSION Metastatic progression outside chest/abdomen imaging templates was present in 1 of 5 high risk patients at initial metastatic RCC diagnosis, most commonly in the pelvis. Patients with large (>10 cm) tumors and grade 4 histology are at highest risk for bone and brain metastases.

Abstract
Although decision making strategy based on clinico-histopathological criteria is well established, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents a spectrum of biological ecosystems characterized by distinct genetic and molecular alterations, diverse clinical courses and potential specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. Given the plethora of drugs available, the subtype-tailored treatment to RCC subtype holds the potential to improve patient outcome, shrinking treatment-related morbidity and cost. The emerging knowledge of the molecular taxonomy of RCC is evolving, whilst the antiangiogenic and immunotherapy landscape maintains and reinforces their potential. Although several prognostic factors of survival in patients with RCC have been described, no reliable predictive biomarkers of treatment individual sensitivity or resistance have been identified. In this review, we summarize the available evidence able to prompt more precise and individualized patient selection in well-designed clinical trials, covering the unmet need of medical choices in the era of next-generation anti-angiogenesis and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Background Bones are one of the most common metastatic sites for solid malignancies. Bone metastases can significantly increase mortality and decrease the quality of life of cancer patients. In the United States, around 350,000 people die each year from bone metastases. This study aimed to analyze and update the incidence and prognosis of bone metastases with solid tumors at the time of cancer diagnosis and its incidence rate for each solid cancer. Methods We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to find patients diagnosed with solid cancers originating from outside the bones and joints between 2010 and 2016. Data were stratified by age, sex, and race. Patients with a tumor in situ or with an unknown bone metastases stage were excluded. We then selected most of the sites where cancer often occurred, leaving 2,207,796 patients for the final incidence analysis. For the survival analysis, patients were excluded if they were diagnosed at their autopsy or on their death certificate, or had unknown follow-ups. The incidence of bone metastases and overall survival was compared between patients with different primary tumor sites. Results We identified 2,470,634 patients, including 426,594 patients with metastatic disease and 113,317 patients with bone metastases, for incidence analysis. The incidence of bone metastases among the metastatic subset was 88.74% in prostate cancer, 53.71% in breast cancer, and 38.65% in renal cancer. In descending order of incidence, there were patients with other cancers in the genitourinary system (except for renal, bladder, prostate, and testicular cancer) (37.91%), adenocarcinoma of the lung (ADC) (36.86%), other gynecologic cancers (36.02%), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) (34.56%), non-small cell lung cancer not otherwise specified and others [NSCLC (NOS/others)] (33.55%), and bladder (31.08%) cancers. The rate of bone metastases is 23.19% in SCLC, 22.50% in NSCLC (NOS/others), 20.28% in ADC, 8.44% in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCC), and 4.11% in bronchioloalveolar carcinoma [NSCLC (BAC)]. As for the digestive system, the overall bone metastases rate was 7.99% in the esophagus, 4.47% in the gastric cancer, 4.42% in the hepatobiliary cancer, 3.80% in the pancreas, 3.26% in other digestive organs, 1.24% in the colorectum, and 1.00% in the anus. Overall, the incidence rate of bone metastases among the entire cohort in breast and prostate cancer was 3.73% and 5.69%, respectively. Conclusions The results of this study provide population-based estimates for the incidence rates of patients with bone metastases at initial diagnosis of their solid tumor. The findings can help clinicians to early detect bone metastases by bone screening to anticipate the occurrence of symptoms and favorably improve the prognosis.

Abstract
The most serious aspect of neoplastic disease is the spread of cancer cells to secondary sites. Skeletal metastases can escape detection long after treatment of the primary tumour and follow-up. Bone tissue is a breeding ground for many types of cancer cells, especially those derived from the breast, prostate, and lung. Despite advances in diagnosis and therapeutic strategies, bone metastases still have a profound impact on quality of life and survival and are often responsible for the fatal outcome of the disease. Bone and the bone marrow environment contain a wide variety of cells. No longer considered a passive filler, bone marrow adipocytes have emerged as critical contributors to cancer progression. Released by adipocytes, adipokines are soluble factors with hormone-like functions and are currently believed to affect tumour development. Src-associated in mitosis of 68 kDa (Sam68), originally discovered as a protein physically associated with and phosphorylated by c-Src during mitosis, is now recognised as an important RNA-binding protein linked to tumour onset and progression of disease. Sam68 also regulates splicing events and recent evidence reports that dysregulation of these events is a key step in neoplastic transformation and tumour progression. The present review reports recent findings on adipokines and Sam68 and their role in breast cancer progression and metastasis.

Abstract
Osteoimmunology was coined about twenty years ago to identify a strict cross talk between bone niche and immune system both in physiological and pathological activities, including cancer. Several molecules are involved in the complex interaction between bone niche, immune and cancer cells. The Receptor Activator of NF-kB (RANK)/RANK Ligand (RANKL/Osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway plays a crucial role in bone cells/cancer interactions with subsequently immune system control failure, bone destruction, inhibition of effect and metastasis outcome. The bidirectional cross talk between bone and immune system could became a potential target for anticancer drugs. Several studies evidenced a direct anticancer role with improved survival of bone-targeted therapies such as bisphosphonates and RANKL antagonist Denosumab. Conversely, initial data evidenced a possible anti-bone resorption effect of systemic anticancer drugs through and immunomodulation activity, i.e. new generation antiandrogens (Abiraterone) in prostate cancer. All data could open a future rationale of combined bone, immunologic and targeted therapies in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Bone is a major site of haematogenous tumour cell spread in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and most patients with RCC will develop painful and functionally disabling bone metastases at advanced disease stages. The prognosis of these patients is generally poor and the treatment is, therefore, aimed at palliation. However, RCC-associated bone metastases can be curable in select patients. Current data support a multimodal management strategy that includes wide resection of lesions, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, and other local treatment options, which can improve quality of life and survival. Nevertheless, the optimal approach for metastatic bone disease in RCC has not yet been defined and practical recommendations are rare. To improve the management and outcomes of patients with RCC and bone metastases, the International Kidney Cancer Coalition and the interdisciplinary working group on renal tumours of the German Cancer Society convened a meeting of experts with a global perspective to perform an unstructured review and elaborate on current treatment strategies on the basis of published data and expertise. The panel formulated recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with RCC and metastasis to the bone. Furthermore, the experts summarized current challenges and unmet patient needs that should be addressed in the future. In this Expert Consensus, Grünwald et al. summarize their recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma and metastasis to the bone. They also outline current challenges and unmet patient needs that should be addressed in the future.

Abstract
Skeletal metastases of unknown primary (SMUP) represent a clinical challenge in dealing with patients diagnosed with bone metastases. Management of these patients has improved significantly in the past few years. however, it is fraught with a lack of evidence. While some patients have achieved impressive gains, a more systematic and tailored treatment is required. Nevertheless, in real-life practice, the outlook at the beginning of treatment for SMUP is decidedly somber. An incomplete translational relevance of pathological and clinical data on the mortality and morbidity rate has had unsatisfactory consequences for SMUP patients and their physicians. We examined several approaches to confront the available evidence; three key points emerged. The characterization of the SMUP biological profile is essential to driving clinical decisions by integrating genetic and molecular profiles into a multi-step diagnostic work-up. Nonetheless, a pragmatic investigation plan and therapy of SMUP cannot follow a single template; it must be adapted to different pathophysiological dynamics and coordinated with efforts of a systematic algorithm and high-quality data derived from statistically powered clinical trials. The discussion in this review points out that greater efforts are required to face the unmet needs present in SMUP patients in oncology.

Abstract
Locally advanced and metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) present a specific set of challenges to the radiologist. The detection of metastatic disease is confounded by the ability of RCC to metastasize to virtually any part of the human body long after surgical resection of the primary tumor. This includes sites not commonly included in routine surveillance, which come to light after the patient becomes symptomatic. In the assessment of treatment response, the phenomenon of tumor heterogeneity, where clone selection through systemic therapy drives the growth of potentially more aggressive phenotypes, can result in oligoprogression despite overall disease control. Finally, advances in therapy have resulted in the development of immuno-oncologic agents that may result in changes that are not adequately evaluated with conventional size-based response criteria and may even be misinterpreted as progression. This article reviews the common challenges a radiologist may encounter in the evaluation of patients with locally advanced and metastatic RCC. ©RSNA, 2019.

Abstract
Introduction Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer that commonly spreads to the liver, lungs and lymph nodes. Bone metastases are infrequent. Objective The aim of this report was to describe the clinical characteristics, survival perspective, prognostic factors and frequency of adverse skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with ACC who developed bone metastasis. Methods This is a retrospective, observational, multicenter, multinational study of patients diagnosed with bone metastases from ACC who were treated and followed up in three European countries (France, Italy and The Netherlands) and one center in the United States. Results Data of 156 patients were captured. The median overall survival was 11 months. SREs occurred in 47% of patients: 17% bone fractures, 17% spinal cord compression, 1% hypercalcemia, 12% developed more than one SRE. In multivariate analysis, cortisol hypersecretion was the only prognostic factor significantly associated with a higher mortality risk (hazard ratio (HR) 2.24, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19-4.23, P = 0.013) and with the development of a SREs (of border line significance). The administration of antiresorptive therapies (bisphosphonates and denosumab) was associated with a lower risk of death, even if not significant, and their survival benefit appeared confined in patients attaining serum mitotane levels within the therapeutic range. Conclusion Bone metastases in ACC patients are associated with poor prognosis and high risk of SREs. Cortisol hypersecretion was the only prognostic factor suggesting a potential benefit from antisecretory medications. The therapeutic role of bisphosphonates and denosumab to improve patient outcome deserves to be tested in a prospective clinical trial.

Bone metastases from head and neck malignancies: Prognostic factors and skeletal-related events. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0213934.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis to describe the characteristics, frequency of skeletal-related events (SREs), and prognosis of head and neck cancer (HNC) in patients with bone metastases (BM). PATIENTS AND METHODS The data of 192 HNC patients with BMs were collected. Analyses were conducted separately in 64 nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients and in 128 non-NPC patients. RESULTS SREs occurred in 34 (27%) non-NPC and in 6 (9%) NPC patients, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) was 25 and 6 months in NPC and non-NPC patients, respectively. Locoregional recurrence (hazard ratio [HR] 2.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-4.93), synchronous BM (HR 0.25, 95% CI 0.59-0.71) and bone-directed therapies (BDT) (HR 0.26, 95% CI 0.10-0.68) were independent prognostic factors for OS in NPC patients. Combined bone radiotherapy (RT) and BDT in NPC patients obtained longer survival (38 months) than either therapy alone (25 months) or neither of these therapies (8 months). CONCLUSIONS Patients with BMs from non-NPC have a poor prognosis and are at high risk of SREs. NPC patients with BMs are at relatively low risk of SREs. BDT may potentially improve survival, particularly when combined with bone RT. This last finding deserves prospective confirmation.

Abstract
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequently reported renal cell neoplasm, which commonly metastasizes to the lungs, bones, lymph nodes, liver, adrenal gland and/or brain. It is usually diagnosed as an incidental finding on radiological imaging, which can further be confirmed by histological examination of the neoplastic tissue. Bone marrow metastasis of renal cell tumors is a rare event and very few cases have been reported. Here we report an unusual case of a 68-year-male who presented with lytic bone lesions on imaging. This raised the suspicion of a bone marrow involvement by a hematolymphoid malignancy or metastatic disease and a bone marrow biopsy was performed. Incidentally, the biopsy revealed infiltration of bone marrow by clear cell RCC. The patient was referred to the oncology clinic where further workup was done which revealed a primary renal tumor.

J Bone Oncol 2019; 16:100227.

Abstract
The skeleton is one of the most common sites of metastatic spread from advanced clear-cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC). Most of the bone lesions observed in RCC patients are classified as osteolytic, causing severe pain and morbidity due to pathological bone destruction. Nowadays, it is well known that cancer induced bone loss in lytic metastasis is caused by the triggering of a vicious cycle between cancer and bone resident cells that leads to an imbalance between bone formation and degradation. Targeting the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is an efficient treatment option for metastatic renal carcinoma patients. Moreover, bone targeted therapy could benefit bone metastatic cancer patients caused by advanced RCC. However, more data is needed to support the hypothesis of the beneficial effect of a combined therapy. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of targeting mTOR and the sequential combination with bone targeted therapy as a strategy to break the vicious cycle between ccRCC cells and osteoclasts. A previously optimized fully human co-culture model is used to mimic the crosstalk between Caki-2 cells (ccRCC) and osteoclasts. Cells are treated at fixed timing with everolimus, zoledronic acid and denosumab as single or sequential combined treatment. We show that Caki-2 cells can induce osteoclast cells differentiation from isolated human monocytes, as demonstrated by specific tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and f-actin ring formation, in a statistically significant manner. Moreover, differentiated osteoclasts proved to be functionally active by pit formation assay. Caki-2 cells co-cultured with osteoclasts acquire a more aggressive phenotype based on gene expression analysis. Interestingly, the sequential combined treatment of everolimus and zoledronic acid is the most effective in the inhibition of both Caki-2 cells survival and osteoclastogenic potential, making it an effective strategy to inhibit the vicious cycle of bone metastasis. At preclinical level, this observation confirms the value of our co-culture model as a useful tool to mimic the bone microenvironment and to assess drug sensitivity in vitro. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in tumor-bone cells crosstalk will be investigated next.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Knowledge of clear cell renal cell carcinoma bone metastasis (ccRCC-BM) remains scarce. This study depicts clinical, pathological and outcome features of the disease and provides suggestions to establish prognosis prediction system more appropriate for ccRCC-BM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with ccRCC-BM had clinical, pathological data collected. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used for outcome profiles. Prognostic risks were evaluated using MSKCC/Motzer score. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to investigate association between clinical, pathological features and prognosis. RESULTS In the series containing 106 ccRCC-BM patients with 4:1 male predominance, 44.3% of them had synchronous bone metastasis and 28.3% had multi-organ metastasis. Axial bone was prone to bone metastasis and the incidence of severe skeletal-related events was 54.7%. Curative bone lesion resection was performed in 70.7% patients. The median overall survival (mOS) time was 45 months for all and 32 months for those in unfavorable risk stratification. Shorter time to bone metastasis (TTBM) [OR 1.019, 95% CI (1.007, 1.031)], elderly age [OR 1.040, 95% CI (1.001, 1.080)], concomitant multi-organ metastasis [OR 3.883, 95% CI (1.375, 10.967)] and carbonic anhydrase (CA)-IX expression loss [OR 58.824, 95% CI (2.653, 1000)] were associated with poor prognosis. CONCLUSION The outcome of ccRCC-BM remained poor in unfavorable risk stratification. Bone lesion resection accompanied by systematic therapy for selected patient could improve prognosis. Shorter TTBM, elderly age, concomitant multi-organ metastasis and the expression loss of CA-IX along with gender-bias, feasibility for surgical treatment are suggested to be incorporated in modified ccRCC-BM-specific prognosis prediction system.

Abstract
TREATING PATIENTS WITH BONE METASTASES FROM RENAL CELL CARCINOMA Bone metastases (BMs) are common and cause morbidity in cancer patients. One third of metastatic renal cancer (mRCC) patients present metastatic disease to the bone. BMs cause severe complications such as fracture, spinal cord compression and pain requiring surgery or radiotherapy. Hypercalcaemia is a common feature in mRCC as well as an established poor prognosis factor. BMs impact negatively on prognosis and affect quality of life. Correct management of BMs from RCC requires a multimodal evaluation to optimize care and quality of life. In this review, we discuss current evidences on the role of systemic treatments in BMs management, bone-targeting agents benefits in skeletal-related events prevention and local therapeutic approaches to BM in mRCC. Define prognosis of systemic disease and identify the main goal of treatment are crucial for the selection of the best strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastases (BMs) are associated with significant morbidity and shorter survival in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Our purpose was to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) in RCC patients with BMs. METHODS Data from patients with BMs from RCC treated at Gustave Roussy between April 1992 and March 2016 were retrospectively collected. Age, sex, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group-Performance Status, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) risk groups, histology, number and site of bone lesions, concomitant metastases (presence and sites), therapy for BMs (radical resection or palliative surgery, radiotherapy and other local and systemic treatments) and time from diagnosis to BMs were analysed. Synchronous solitary bone metastasis (SSBM) was defined as a single BM without concomitant visceral lesions at the initial diagnosis of RCC. OS was calculated from the date of BMs diagnosis to death or last follow-up using Kaplan-Maier method and modelled with Cox regression analysis. RESULTS From 1750 patients with diagnosis of RCC followed at Gustave Roussy Cancer Campus, 300 patients with BMs were identified. Median time from diagnosis to BMs was 32.4 months (range 0-324 months). In 64 patients (21%), bone was the only metastatic site, and 22 patients (7%) had an SSBM and 236 patients (79%) had concomitant metastases in other sites. Median OS was 23.2 months (95% confidence interval 19.9-26.2). SSBM patients had better OS than those with concomitant metastases (40 vs 20 months; P < 0.001). At multivariate analysis, concomitant metastases remained predictor of poor prognosis, while MSKCC risk group, radical resection and SSBM were predictors of better OS. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that MSKCC score, numbers of BMs and radical resection are important prognostic factors for RCC patients with BMs. Additionally, in the presence of solitary BM without concomitant metastases at the initial diagnosis of RCC, bone surgery should be considered to achieve local tumour control and likely increase OS.

Abstract
Renal cell cancer (RCC) (epithelial carcinoma of the kidney) represents 2%-4% of newly diagnosed adult tumors. Over the past 2 decades, RCC has been better characterized clinically and molecularly. It is a heterogeneous disease, with multiple subtypes, each with characteristic histology, genetics, molecular profiles, and biologic behavior. Tremendous heterogeneity has been identified with many distinct subtypes characterized. There are clinical questions to be addressed at every stage of this disease, and new targets being identified for therapeutic development. The unique characteristics of the clinical presentations of RCC have led to both questions and opportunities for improvement in management. Advances in targeted drug development and understanding of immunologic control of RCC are leading to a number of new clinical trials and regimens for advanced disease, with the goal of achieving long-term disease-free survival, as has been achieved in a proportion of such patients historically. RCC management is a promising area of ongoing clinical investigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone metastases (BMs) are common and cause morbidity in cancer patients. This review focuses on evidence in BMs from metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) management and discusses current evidence on the role of systemic treatments in BMs management, bone-targeting agents' benefits in skeletal-related events prevention and local therapeutic approaches to BM in mRCC. Areas covered: A comprehensive review of literature concerning incidence, prognosis, and therapeutic approaches of BMs was performed, focusing on the latest emerging evidence in management of BMs from mRCC. Expert commentary: One-third of mRCC patients present metastatic disease to the bone. BMs impact negatively the prognosis and decrease quality of life. Adequate management of BMs from RCC requires a multimodal evaluation to optimize care and quality of life. Both tyrosine-kinase inhibitors and immunotherapy may be effective in BMs treatment. BMs cause severe complications such as fracture, spinal cord compression, and pain requiring surgery or radiotherapy and several local approaches are available to achieve a local control of the disease. Defining prognosis of systemic disease and identifying the main goal of treatment is crucial for the selection of the best strategy.

Purpose: This study investigates the biologic activity of radium-223 with VEGF-targeted therapy in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) and bone metastases.Patients and Methods: Fifteen treatment-naïve patients (n = 15) received pazopanib 800 mg orally once daily, and 15 previously treated patients received sorafenib 400 mg orally twice daily. Radium-223 55 kilobecquerel/kg was administered concurrently every 4 weeks for up to six infusions in both cohorts. The primary endpoint was decline in bone turnover markers (Procollagen I Intact N-Terminal, N-telopeptide, C-telopeptide, osteocalcin, and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase) compared with baseline. Secondary endpoints included safety, rate of symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) and time to first SSE, objective response rate, change in analgesic use, and quality of life. Exploratory analysis of tumor genomic alterations was performed.Results: Of the 30 patients enrolled, 83% had IMDC intermediate- or poor-risk disease, 33% had liver metastases, and 83% had a history of SSE prior to enrollment. No dose-limiting toxicity was observed. All bone turnover markers significantly declined from baseline at week 8 and 16. Forty percent of patients experienced treatment-related grade ≥3 adverse events. Response rates were 15% and 18% per RECIST v1.1 and bone response was 50% and 30% per MD Anderson criteria, in the pazopanib and sorafenib cohort, respectively. Median SSE-free interval was 5.8 months and not reached, respectively. Analgesic use remained stable over the study time.Conclusions: Radium-223 combined with VEGF-targeted therapy is biologically active and safe. Randomized-controlled trials are needed to define the role of radium-223 in aRCC with skeletal metastases. Clin Cancer Res; 24(17); 4081-8. ©2018 AACR.

Clinical Features and Risk Factors of Skeletal-Related Events in Genitourinary Cancer Patients with Bone Metastasis: A Retrospective Analysis of Prostate Cancer, Renal Cell Carcinoma, and Urothelial Carcinoma. Oncology 2018; 95:170-178. [PMID: 29874673 DOI: 10.1159/000489218] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2018] [Accepted: 04/11/2018] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to report the incidence of skeletal-related events (SREs) and identify risk factors for SREs in patients with genitourinary cancer with newly diagnosed bone metastasis. METHODS This retrospective study included 180 patients with bone metastasis from prostate cancer (PCa; n = 111), renal cell carcinoma (RCC; n = 43), and urothelial carcinoma (UC; n = 26). Clinical factors at the time of diagnosis of bone metastasis were evaluated with Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for SREs. RESULTS During follow-up, 29 (26%) patients with PCa, 30 (70%) with RCC, and 15 (58%) with UC developed SREs. Treatment with bone-modifying agents (BMAs) before the development of SREs and within 6 months from the diagnosis of bone metastasis significantly delayed the time to first SRE as compared to nonuse of BMAs. Multivariate analysis identified type of primary cancer (PCa vs. RCC, PCa vs. UC), performance status, and bone pain as significant independent predictive risk factors for SREs. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with BMAs significantly delayed the development of first SREs. The identified predictors of SREs might be useful to select patients who would benefit most from early treatment with BMAs.
