I was misdiagnosed twice before receiving my kidney cancer diagnosis, and along the way, I learned the importance of expert doctors and clinical trials.

Once seen as a malignancy resistant to typical treatments such as chemotherapy, metastatic kidney cancer has come a long way in the past 20 years.

Twenty years of FDA approvals for the treatment of metastatic kidney cancer have allowed patients to live longer.

The FDA’s approval of Vegzelma was based on data that demonstrated the biosimilar elicited comparable safety and efficacy to Avastin in several studies.

Although patients treated with the combination did not have significant improvements in survival, telaglenastat and Cabometyx did not increase the rate of side effects in patients.

The addition of Cabometyx to the current standard-of-care frontline regimen of Opdivo plus Yervoy improved progression-free survival outcomes in patients with advanced kidney cancer.

An expert explains the different types of kidney cancer surgeries, and what patients can expect to experience after the procedure.

Findings from the CheckMate-914 trial showed that Opdivo plus Yervoy did not meet the study’s main goal of disease-free survival for patients with localized renal cell carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer.

A new treatment group within the PYNNACLE clinical trial is set to evaluate a novel drug plus Keytruda in patients with p53 Y220C-mutant locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

From “General Hospital” star Cameron Mathison discussing his cancer experience to Dame Deborah James and Hells Angels founder Sonny Barger dying of the disease, here’s what happened in the cancer space this week.

Dr Thomas Hutson comments on the TiNivo-2 trial and discusses upcoming and novel therapies for patients with renal cell carcinoma.

With no approved therapies for NRG-1 cancers, zenocutuzumab offers a promising treatment option for this patient population.

Treatment with Lenvima plus Keytruda resulted in a 50% decrease in risk of disease progression or death compared with Sutent in patients with advanced kidney cancer.

The aim of the early-stage trial is to identify the safety of the experimental drug as either a single-agent therapy as well as in combination with Keytruda in adults with multiple solid tumors.

The Strata PATH trial will use a novel testing strategy to determine if certain patients with solid tumors can benefit from already-approved therapies.
