Update on First-Line Combination Treatment Approaches in Metastatic Clear-Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.

The treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has significantly evolved in recent years with a deeper understanding of the molecular make-up of the disease and the clinical development of therapies with novel mechanisms of action. While some patients with more indolent disease may benefit from local therapy such as metastasectomy or cytoreductive nephrectomy, others may safely embark on an active surveillance program or be offered targeted therapy. Yet, a combination regimen including an ICI is the most effective regimen and should be considered in most mRCC cases.
