Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) to see if active surveillance (AS) could be beneficial for some, as selecting the right patients for this approach is difficult.
- Data from 160 patients indicated that those with higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were more likely to start systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) within a year and had shorter overall survival rates, making CRP a potentially useful marker for decision-making.
- The findings suggest that AS may be a viable initial treatment strategy for certain mRCC patients, highlighting the need for careful selection based on inflammatory biomarkers like CRP rather than relying solely on traditional risk scores. *
