Immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). This case evaluates the use of neoadjuvant immunotherapy for localized RCC in a patient with solitary functioning kidney. A retrospective chart review was conducted between September 2019 and January 2020 on a single patient. Before treatment, the tumor was 7 cm × 8 cm × 8.5 cm. The patient trialed nivolumab + ipilimumab then cabozantinib. The tumor shrunk to 6.3 cm × 5.5 cm and was removed via partial nephrectomy. This case demonstrates the efficacy of immunotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment of RCC. Expansion of guidelines could allow for patients with RCC to undergo partial nephrectomy.
免疫疗法彻底改变了转移性肾细胞癌(RCC)的治疗方式。本病例评估了新辅助免疫疗法在一名单功能肾患者局部RCC治疗中的应用。2019年9月至2020年1月对一名患者进行了回顾性病历审查。治疗前,肿瘤大小为7厘米×8厘米×8.5厘米。患者先试用纳武单抗+伊匹单抗,然后使用卡博替尼。肿瘤缩小至6.3厘米×5.5厘米,并通过部分肾切除术切除。本病例证明了免疫疗法在RCC新辅助治疗中的疗效。指南的扩展可能使RCC患者能够接受部分肾切除术。
