Oncotarget: Metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma treated with surgery and Cabozantinib

Volume 11, Issue 20 of @Oncotarget reported that the aim of this article is to describe the case of metastatic recurrent RCC with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in a 59-year-old male patient treated with nephrectomy and multiple metastasectomies followed by Cabozantinib.

Surgery for metastases followed by Cabozantinib may be a therapeutic option in metastatic young patients.

Dr. Johnny Boustany from The Notre Dame des Secours University Hospital Center (CHUNDS) as well as The Holy Spirit University of Kaslik (USEK) said, "Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 3% of all adult cancers."

Forty percent of patients with RCC with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation present with high pathologic stage disease, as well, 40% of these patients have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis.

The aim of this article is to share their experience with a patient who is in complete remission from Metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation under cabozantinib after two surgical interventions to excise all the metastases.

The Boustany Research Team concluded in their Oncotarget Case Report that in this case, the use of cabozantinib after Sunitinib failure was successful, but they think that it is the metastasectomy who had a benefic effect on disease-free survival of our patient without any recurrence under cabozantinib.
