Targeted therapies: Sunitinib versus interferon-alpha in metastatic RCC

Jason E Faris et al. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2010 Jan.

Abstract

Motzer and colleagues present updated results from a multicenter, phase III trial of sunitinib versus interferon-alpha as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic renal-cell carcinoma. The observed improvement in overall survival for patients treated with sunitinib further establishes this agent as the reference standard for first-line treatment of good-risk and intermediate-risk patients with metastatic renal cancer.
