Risk factors and model for predicting toxicity‐related treatment discontinuation in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with vascular endothelial growth factor–targeted therapy: Results from the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium

Abstract

In the largest series to date, age, GFR, number of metastatic sites, and baseline sodium level were found to be independent risk factors for TrTD in mRCC patients receiving VEGF-targeted therapy. Based on the number of risk factors present, a model for predicting TrTD was built to be used as a tool for toxicity monitoring in clinical practice.
