Current practices in the management of adverse events associated with targeted therapies for advanced renal cell carcinoma: a national survey of oncologists.

Background: Oncologists treating patients with targeted therapies encounter adverse events (AEs) that pose management challenges, lead to dosing inconsistencies, and impact patient quality of life. Oncologists' practices and attitudes in the management of targeted therapy-related AEs in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are poorly understood. We sought to identify unmet needs associated with AE management and understand oncologists' treatment optimization strategies.
