Abstract
The introduction of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinases (VEGFR-TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (IOs) have drastically altered the treatment landscape for kidney cancer, with doublet combination immunotherapy (IO/IO or IO/VEGFR-TKI) now set as the standard front-line treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, the roles of VEGFR-TKIs and IOs in the neoadjuvant setting for locoregional/locally advanced RCC remain undefined, where the goals may be primary tumor downsizing/downstaging and potentially eradicating micrometastatic disease. This review will examine VEGFR-TKI monotherapy, IO monotherapy, and VEGFR-TKI/IO combination regimens in a preoperative setting with a focus on the efficacy, toxicity, surgical, and long-term implications.
期刊介绍：
Cancers (ISSN 2072-6694) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal on oncology. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
