Molecular underpinnings of glandular tropism in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma: therapeutic implications

Abstract

Patients with m-ccRCC who develop GM are molecularly characterized by heightened angiogenesis, translating into better prognosis and better outcomes on VEGFR-TKIs, but not IO. Based on these findings, VEGFR-TKIs should be included in the first-line treatment of m-ccRCC patients with GM.
