Successful sorafenib treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma in a case with chronic renal failure

Sebastian Ruppin et al. Eur Urol. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Treatment options for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are limited. We report the case of a 69-yr-old male who was treated with sorafenib after failure of immunotherapy. The treatment has resulted in remission with stable disease for 13 mo so far. Sorafenib seems to be a safe treatment option for patients with ESRD and mRCC, but further studies are required.
