Local therapy of stage IV renal cell cancer: a case report

Summary

This mini-review and case report demonstrates how systemic and local treatments work synergistically for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Although new targeted and immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment armamentarium of mRCC and dramatically improved patients' prognosis, local treatment remains an important part of therapy. Here, we report on a patient who benefitted enormously from the combination and interaction of both therapeutic approaches, and we summarize the literature and guidelines that supported our treatment decisions in this case.
