Neoadjuvant sutent induction therapy may effectively down-stage renal cell carcinoma atrial thrombi

Pierre I Karakiewicz et al. Eur Urol. 2008 Apr.

Abstract

A 75-yr-old previously healthy woman presented with gross hematuria, European Cooperative Oncology Group 0, and an 11-cm renal mass with right atrial thrombus. The patient refused the sternotomy. She was offered two cycles of sunitinib maleate (Sutent) induction therapy to down-stage the thrombus and to reduce the extent of the surgery.
