Several molecular targeted agents have been approved for clinical use for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). A case of a 32-year-old woman with mRCC is presented. These tumors could change vascularity by administration of molecular agents. We could select a drug timely based on findings of computed tomography. To our knowledge, this is the first report that tumor's character change induced by molecular targeted agents can be detected and the efficacy of molecular targeted agents can be predicted.
几种分子靶向药物已被批准用于转移性肾细胞癌(mRCC)的临床治疗。本文报道了一例32岁的mRCC女性患者。这些肿瘤可通过分子药物的给药改变血管生成情况。我们可以根据计算机断层扫描的结果及时选择药物。据我们所知,这是第一份关于可检测到分子靶向药物引起的肿瘤特征变化并能预测分子靶向药物疗效的报告。
