Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma has one of the highest mortality rates of genitourinary cancers (Cairns, Cancer Biomark 9:461–473, 2012). The incidence of this disease has risen steadily. However, survival rates have improved substantially due to an increase in incidental detection and active surveillance with early treatment and management. Despite the control of cancer progression and better survival, patients are still being diagnosed with advanced disease and metastases. A collaborative management strategy consisting of surgery and targeted therapy is needed to improve patient outcomes (Cairns, Cancer Biomark 9:461–473, 2012).
