Adjuvant Sunitinib in High-Risk Renal-Cell Carcinoma after Nephrectomy

Abstract

Among patients with locoregional clear-cell renal-cell carcinoma at high risk for tumor recurrence after nephrectomy, the median duration of disease-free survival was significantly longer in the sunitinib group than in the placebo group, at a cost of a higher rate of toxic events.
