Abstract
Cabozantinib, an oral inhibitor targeting MET, AXL, and VEGF receptors, has become a key component of a sequential treatment strategy for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The purpose of this work is to show that effective management of adverse events (AEs) during cabozantinib treatment and achieving a balance between AEs and treatment efficacy is crucial to achieving therapeutic goals. In this retrospective study, involving seventy-one metastatic RCC (mRCC) patients receiving second or subsequent lines of cabozantinib at the Department of Genitourinary Oncology, Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology, we explored the impact of AEs on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). AEs were observed in 92% of patients. Hypothyroidism during treatment was significantly associated with prolonged OS and PFS (HR: 0.31; p < 0.001 and HR: 0.34; p < 0.001, respectively). The occurrence of hand-foot syndrome (HFS) was also linked to improved OS (HR: 0.46; p = 0.021). Patients experiencing multiple AEs demonstrated superior OS and PFS compared to those with one or no AEs (HR: 0.36; p < 0.001 and HR: 0.30; p < 0.001, respectively). Hypothyroidism and HFS serve as valuable predictive factors during cabozantinib treatment in ccRCC patients, indicating a more favorable prognosis.

Abstract
Introduction Geriatric patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are underrepresented in clinical trials. Evaluation of the efficacy of the treatment and assignation of individuals to proper prognostic groups is an absolute necessity to guarantee them the best possible care. Material and methods A total of 138 geriatric patients with mRCC treated with first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) at the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology were retrospectively analyzed to determine whether the body mass index (BMI) and pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) are prognostic values for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in this type of cancer. For this purpose, Cox's proportional hazard model was used. Results The median duration of follow-up for surviving patients was 46.6 (95% CI: 17.4-75.8) months. The median OS and PFS were respectively 33.8 months (95% CI: 23.8-47.8) and 19.1 months (95% CI: 15.0-23.3). BMI (p = 0.034) and PIV (p < 0.001) were statistically significantly associated with OS, and PIV (p = 0.001) was statistically significantly associated with PFS. The risk of death for patients from the high-PIV group (cut-off point: 548) was 3.4 times higher than for those with lower PIV values. The corresponding risk of progression for patients from the high-PIV group was 2.2 times higher. The G8 geriatric screening tool was not identified as a prognostic factor. Conclusions Lower PIV and obesity are associated with longer OS in geriatric mRCC patients treated with TKIs in the first line. These factors may be considered while making treatment decisions if further studies show the same results.

Abstract
Introduction Cabozantinib is an oral inhibitor of MET, AXL, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors. It has an immunomodulatory effect and may influence the tumor's microenvironment and make mutated cells more sensitive to immune-mediated killing. These properties have made cabozantinib an effective drug for first-line or subsequent-line treatment after progression of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), even after immunotherapy. Material and methods Seventy-one patients with mRCC were treated with second or further lines of cabozantinib at the Department of Genitourinary Oncology, Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology. This study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness of cabozantinib in subsequent lines of treatment. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were the primary endpoints. The best overall response (BOR) to cabozantinib was the secondary endpoint. For this purpose, Cox's proportional hazard model was used. Results The median PFS was 11 months (5; 23) and the median OS was 16 months (10; 42) and differed significantly in the second and further lines of treatment. Progression in the second and further lines was observed in 28 (93%) and 27 (66%) patients, respectively (p = 0.006). Partial response as the BOR was observed in one patient (3%) in the second line and 13 patients (32%) in the further lines (p = 0.012). Conclusions Cabozantinib has antitumor effects in the second and further lines of treatment. In this study we observed high efficiency of cabozantinib in further lines of treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized the metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) therapeutic landscape. Nevertheless, tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) axis still play a key role. The aim of the present study was to explore the prognostic performance of an integrated blood score, based on hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and red cell distribution width (RDW), in mRCC patients treated with anti-VEGF TKIs. The primary endpoint was to correlate Hb, MCV, and RDW with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Our multicenter retrospective observational study involved mRCC patients treated with pazopanib or cabozantinib from January 2012 to December 2020 in nine Italian centers. Clinical records and laboratory data, including Hb levels, MCV, and RDW, were collected at baseline. Descriptive statistics and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS We enrolled 301 mRCC patients of which 179 (59%) underwent pazopanib, and 122 (41%) cabozantinib. We considered baseline Hb ≥12 g/dL, MCV >87 fL, and RDW ≤16% as good prognostic factors; hence, developing a multiparametric score capable of delineating 4 different categories. The number of good prognostic factors was associated with significantly longer PFS and OS (p < 0.001 for both). Therefore, we developed a red blood cell-based score by stratifying cases into two groups (2-3 versus 0-1, good factors). The impact on PFS and OS was even more striking (median PFS (mPFS): 16.3 vs 7.9 months; median OS (mOS): 33.7 vs 14.1 months)), regardless of the TKI agent. When challenged with univariate and multivariate analysis, the blood score maintained its high prognostic significance in terms of OS (multivariate analysis HR for OS: 0.53, 95% CI 0.39-0.75; p < 0.001, respectively), while the impact on PFS resulted in borderline significance. CONCLUSIONS Our analyses demonstrate the prognostic role of a multiparametric score based on easily exploitable blood parameters, such as Hb concentration, MCV, and RDW. The red blood cell-based score may underlie the upregulation of the HIF-1α pathway and VEGF axis, thereby identifying a selected population who is likely to benefit from TKI therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treatment is still largely based on TKI use. Treatment adjustment due to toxicities is often needed. The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of treatment modifications on the outcome of mRCC patients treated with cabozantinib or pazopanib.Research design and methods. This retrospective multicenter study enrolled consecutive patients receiving cabozantinib or pazopanib between January 2012 and December 2020. We evaluated the correlation of TKI treatment modifications with grade 3-4 toxicities and progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS). We also performed a landmark analysis excluding patients who did not undergo at least 5 months of therapy. RESULTS Among 301 patients, 179 (59%) were treated with pazopanib, 122 (41%) with cabozantinib. Treatment modifications were related to grade 3-4 toxicities (p < 0.0001). We observed a statistically significant longer PFS and OS in patients who underwent dose reductions (p < 0.0001 for both PFS and OS), temporary interruption (p < 0.0001 for both PFS and OS) and schedule modifications (p = 0.007 for PFS and p = 0.012 for OS) at univariate analysis. These results were confirmed at multivariable and landmark analyses. CONCLUSIONS Tailoring treatment with pazopanib and cabozantinib was associated with better PFS/OS.

Abstract
Background To compare the effectiveness of cytoreductive partial nephrectomy (CPN) and cytoreductive radical nephrectomy (CRN) in the treatment of metastatic T1-T2 renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods We obtained the clinical and pathological data of patients with metastatic T1-T2 RCC who underwent CPN or CRN from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (https://seer.cancer.gov). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance differences in characteristics between CPN and CRN cases. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and univariate and multivariate Cox regression were used to assess the effect of partial nephrectomy (PN) versus radical nephrectomy (RN) on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Results After screening, 866 eligible cases were obtained. During the 1-107 months of follow-up, 500 patients died, 453 (90.6%) of whom died of RCC. The tumor size in the CRN group was significantly greater than that in the CPN group. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that there was no significant difference in OS and CSS between the CPN group and the CRN group before and after matching. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis found that the risk factors for OS were older age at diagnosis [hazard ratio (HR) =1.02, P=0.008], non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) pathological type (HR =1.69, P=0.002), number of metastases ≥2 (HR =2.13, P<0.001), and regional lymph node involvement (HR =2.22, P=0.004), while the risk factors for CSS were non-ccRCC pathological type (HR =1.51, P=0.021) and the number of metastases ≥2 (HR =2.24, P <0.001). Conclusions CPN can provide similar oncologic outcomes as can CRN in T1-2M1 cases, and tumor metastatic burden is a major risk factor for survival in these patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).

The new landscape of treatments for metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (mRCC) is constantly expanding, but it is associated with the emergence of novel toxicities, adding to up to those observed in the tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) era. Indeed, the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) alone or in combination has been associated with the development of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) involving multiple-organ systems which, even if rarely, had led to fatal outcomes. Moreover, due to the relatively recent addition of ICIs to the previously available treatments, the potential additive adverse effects of these combinations are still unknown. A prompt recognition and management of these toxicities currently represents a fundamental issue in oncology, since it correlates with the outcome of cancer patients. Even if clinical guidelines provide indications for the management of irAEs, no specific protocol to evaluate the individual risk of developing an adverse event during therapy is currently available. A multidisciplinary approach addressing appropriate interventions aimed at reducing the risk of any insidious, severe, and/or dose-limiting toxicity might represent the most efficacious strategy to timely prevent and manage severe irAEs, allowing indirectly to improve both patients' cancer-specific survival and quality of life. In this review, we reported a five-case series of toxicity events that occurred at our center during treatment for mRCC followed by the remarks of physicians from different specialties, pinpointing the relevant role of an integrated and extended multidisciplinary team in a modern model of mRCC patient management.

Abstract
Simple Summary Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) accounts for one-third of all newly diagnosed renal cell cancers. A better understanding of the biology and molecular basis of disease progression has resulted in several drug targets being identified and led to approval of several new drugs for treating mRCC in the past decade. A growing need has emerged for identifying novel molecular tumor biology based and stage-specific prognostic and predictive biomarkers in mRCC reflective of biology beyond the currently available prognostic models which are solely based on clinical characteristics. We investigated hPG80 (circulating progastrin), which is associated with kidney cancer biology and found that hPG80 levels is both an independent prognostic marker in mRCC and also improves current clinical prognostic models. This will help stratify mRCC patients more accurately in future and improve the management of mRCC patients. Abstract Precise management of kidney cancer requires the identification of prognostic factors. hPG80 (circulating progastrin) is a tumor promoting peptide present in the blood of patients with various cancers, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we evaluated the prognostic value of plasma hPG80 in 143 prospectively collected patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC). The prognostic impact of hPG80 levels on overall survival (OS) in mRCC patients after controlling for hPG80 levels in non-cancer age matched controls was determined and compared to the International Metastatic Database Consortium (IMDC) risk model (good, intermediate, poor). ROC curves were used to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of hPG80 using the area under the curve (AUC). Our results showed that plasma hPG80 was detected in 94% of mRCC patients. hPG80 levels displayed high predictive accuracy with an AUC of 0.93 and 0.84 when compared to 18–25 year old controls and 50–80 year old controls, respectively. mRCC patients with high hPG80 levels (>4.5 pM) had significantly lower OS compared to patients with low hPG80 levels (<4.5 pM) (12 versus 31.2 months, respectively; p = 0.0031). Adding hPG80 levels (score of 1 for patients having hPG80 levels > 4.5 pM) to the six variables of the IMDC risk model showed a greater and significant difference in OS between the newly defined good-, intermediate- and poor-risk groups (p = 0.0003 compared to p = 0.0076). Finally, when patients with IMDC intermediate-risk group were further divided into two groups based on hPG80 levels within these subgroups, increased OS were observed in patients with low hPG80 levels (<4.5 pM). In conclusion, our data suggest that hPG80 could be used for prognosticating survival in mRCC alone or integrated to the IMDC score (by adding a variable to the IMDC score or by substratifying the IMDC risk groups), be a prognostic biomarker in mRCC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, and accounts for approximately 3% of all malignancies. Metastatic RCC (mRCC) is not sensitive to traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, therefore targeted therapy has become an important treatment option. In this study, the second-line targeted drug everolimus (Afinitor), a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, was investigated for its clinical efficacy and adverse events in mRCC after failure of first-line targeted therapy, such as sorafenib, sunitinib or pazopanib. METHODS A total of 21 patients with mRCC who had been treated with surgery or other therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were given oral everolimus (10 mg/day) until disease progression. Clinical efficacy was evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 2 months after therapy, including complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD). The adverse events were observed, and timely treatment was provided. RESULTS Everolimus extended progression-free survival (PFS) in mRCC patients from 4 to 8 months (median 6.3 months). There were 3 patients with PR, 12 with SD, and 6 with PD, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 15/21 (71.4%). Common adverse events included stomatitis, rash, and pneumonitis. CONCLUSIONS This study provides further support that everolimus is still an important option in mRCC treatment after failure of first-line targeted therapy. However, clinical studies are still needed to further improve its therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Background: Targeted therapy has transformed the outcome for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Their efficacy and safety have also been demonstrated in brain metastatic RCC. Preclinical evidence suggests synergism of radiation and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Consequently, several studies have compared their efficacy in the treatment of RCC brain metastases to the era of brain management with surgery/radiation only. Objectives: We seek to systematically review and meta-analyze the results of those studies that involved comparative intervention groups of brain management; TKIs, and never used TKIs. Methods and Materials: Online databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and ClinicalTrials.gov) were searched for comparative studies. Overall survival as the primary outcome of interest, and local brain control, distant control, and adverse events as secondary outcomes of interest were recorded for meta-analysis. Hazard ratios were pooled together using Review Manager 5.3. Fixed effects or random effects model were adopted according to the level of heterogeneity. Subgroup analysis included studies that involved SRS as the local treatment of management. Results: Overall 7 studies (n = 897) were included for meta-analysis. TKI use was associated with better survival (HR 0.60 [0.52, 0.69], p < 0.00001) and local brain control (HR 0.34 [0.11, 0.98], p = 0.05). SRS subgroup also revealed significantly better survival (HR 0.61 [0.44, 0.83], p = 0.002) and local brain control (HR 0.19 [0.08, 0.45], p = 0.0002). Distant brain control (HR 0.95 [0.67, 1.35], p = 0.79) and brain progression free survival were unaffected (HR 0.94 [0.56, 1.56], p = 0.80). Only one study (n = 376) reported significantly greater 12-months cumulative incidence of radiation necrosis with TKI use within 30 days of SRS (10.9 vs. 6.4%, p = 0.04). Conclusions: TKIs use in combination with SRS is safe and effective for treating RCC brain metastases. Larger randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate the results.

Abstract
Background The pathogenesis of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), one of the most common malignant neoplasms, remains unknown. Studies on competitive endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) have uncovered new interactions between RNAs, which suggest their roles in cancer pathogenesis. However, the role of ceRNA networks in mRCC has not yet been studied. Thus, this study aims to explore the role of ceRNA networks in mRCC development and identify potential prognostic indicators. Methods We analyzed RNA sequencing data of mRCC patients, which had been obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Next, differentially expressed long-noncoding RNAs (DElncRNAs), differentially expressed micro RNAs (DEmiRNAs), and differentially expressed messenger RNAs (DEmRNAs) in mRCC and clear cell RCC (ccRCC) samples were identified using the edgeR package that is available in R software. Moreover, based on the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), enrichment analyses for biological processes and pathways functional were performed. As such, we built a ceRNA network and performed a survival analysis using the survival package in R. Results A total of 369 DElncRNAs, 12 DEmiRNAs, and 728 DEmRNAs were identified for further analysis. Of these, 11 lncRNAs, 20 mRNAs, and 2 miRNAs were included in the ceRNA network. Moreover, 7 of the 11 lncRNAs and 3 of the 20 mRNAs were associated with the overall survival of mRCC patients (P<0.05). Conclusions Collectively, our findings allow a deepened understanding of the molecular mechanism of the ceRNA network and its role in mRCC development, which can guide both mRCC therapy and related future research.

Abstract
Locoregional treatment with radical intent should be considered during therapy with targeted agents in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) in order to achieve a complete response, especially in the setting of an oligo-progression in one or more metastatic sites. We retrospectively enrolled 55 patients who experienced a disease oligo-progression after at least 6 months from the beginning of first-line therapy in one or more metastatic sites radically treated with locoregional treatments. Post-first-oligo-progression overall survival (PFOPOS) and post-first-oligo-progression free survival (PFOPFS) were evaluated. The global median PFOPOS and PFOPFS were 37 months and 14 months respectively. Patients who continued the same therapy after a locoregional treatment on a site of progression had a significantly longer mPFOPOS compared to patients who changed therapy (39 vs 11 months, p=0.014). An advantage in mPFOPOS was also observed in patients with a Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) good risk score compared to patients of the intermediate risk group (39 vs 29 months, p=0.036); patients with bone metastases had a longer mPFOPOS compared to those with visceral metastases (not reached vs 31 months, p=0.045). The only independent predictor of poor prognosis, in terms of PFOPOS at multivariate analysis (p=0.007), proved out to be change of treatment after first progression. In this paper we aim to illustrate that continuing the same systemic therapy, after a radical locoregional treatment on a site of progression, seems to be associated with a prolongation of mPFOPOS.
