In recent years, new treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been a spotlight in the field of cancer therapeutics. With several emerging agents branded as 'targeted therapy' now available, both medical oncologists and urologists are progressively more hopeful for better outcomes. The new remedies may provide patients with improved survival and at the same time less toxicity when compared to traditional cytotoxic agents. This article will center on current and emerging treatment strategies for advanced RCC and other GU malignancies with updates from 2008 annual ASCO meeting.
近年来,肾细胞癌(RCC)的新治疗方法一直是癌症治疗领域的焦点。随着几种新兴的被称为“靶向治疗”的药物的出现,肿瘤内科医生和泌尿科医生都对更好的治疗效果越来越抱有希望。与传统细胞毒性药物相比,新疗法可能为患者提供更好的生存机会,同时减少毒性。本文将重点介绍 2008 年 ASCO 年会更新的晚期 RCC 和其他 GU 恶性肿瘤的最新治疗策略。
