A transcriptional metastatic signature predicts survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

A transcriptional metastatic signature predicts survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is an aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options and high rates of resistance to first-line kinase inhibitors. Current therapies largely target the tumor microenvironment, leaving intrinsic tumor vulnerabilities underexplored. Here, we ...
Fecal microbiota transplantation plus pembrolizumab and axitinib in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: the randomized phase 2 TACITO trial

Fecal microbiota transplantation plus pembrolizumab and axitinib in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: the randomized phase 2 TACITO trial

In a phase 1 trial testing healthy donor fecal microbial transplantation with immune checkpoint blockade in patients with previously untreated renal cell carcinoma, treatment was safe with an encouraging response signal and microbiome analyses, suggesting specific donor taxa associations with ...
Fecal microbiota transplantation plus immunotherapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: the phase 1 PERFORM trial

Fecal microbiota transplantation plus immunotherapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: the phase 1 PERFORM trial

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with anti-PD-1 plus a VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, donor fecal microbial transplantation (FMT) from complete responders to immunotherapy did not significantly improve the primary ...
Transcriptomic characterization and innovative molecular classification of clear cell renal cell carcinoma in the Chinese population

Transcriptomic characterization and innovative molecular classification of clear cell renal cell carcinoma in the Chinese population

Background Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a prevalent and aggressive form of kidney cancer with a poor prognosis. The tumor mutational burden (TMB) has been a subject of considerable interest in various cancer studies. However, the relationship between TMB and ccRCC has been ...
Prognostic role of smoking in metastatic renal cell carcinoma in real-world data from the Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium (TKCC) – Scientific Reports

Prognostic role of smoking in metastatic renal cell carcinoma in real-world data from the Turkish Oncology Group Kidney Cancer Consortium (TKCC) – Scientific Reports

Smoking has been implicated as a potential factor influencing cancer progression and outcomes in various malignancies, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of smoking status on treatment outcomes in mRCC patients, with a focus on metastatic ...
