An Ara-C-containing intensified induction therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is considered a highly effective treatment strategy in younger mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients, inducing long-lasting remissions. However, ASCT is also hampered by acute and delayed toxicity. Thus, alternative first-line treatment strategies without ASCT but including novel agents are under investigation.

Pulmonology Unit, Department of Medical Surgical and Health Sciences, University of Trieste, Hospital of Cattinara, 34149 Trieste, Italy.

Nintedanib, an intracellular inhibitor that targets multiple tyrosine kinase, is an important drug for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Until now, no studies have been published reporting the nintedanib tolerability or its efficacy in patients with chronic pulmonary lung disease and chronic kidney disease comorbidity. The safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of nintedanib have not been studied in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) and for this reason it is contraindicated in these patients.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common solid tumour of the kidney and accounts for 3% of all cancers. While immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based combination therapies have emerged as the first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), the role of surgery has become more controversial. This review summarizes the evidence, current role and future directions for surgery in mRCC management.
