Gretchen Vaughan, Kidney Cancer Association, has been named chief executive officer of the nonprofit.

Kidney cancer had the sharpest annual increase for young Americans: 6.23% between 1995 and 2014.

According to recent research conducted by Spectrum Health, certain factors such as diastolic blood pressure and fasting insulin were found to be associated with renal cell carcinoma.

Sunitinib is administered on a rigid schedule that may not be optimal for all patients. We hypothesised that toxicity-driven dose and schedule changes would optimise drug exposure and outcome for each patient.

This study evaluates whether sunitinib and pazopanib treatments are associated with change in skeletal muscle area (SMA) and total lean body mass (LBM) as well as to compare their efficacies and safety profiles in patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC).

Personalised treatment plans may extend life expectancy for early-stage kidney cancer patients who have risk factors for worsening kidney disease, according to a new study published in the journal Radiology.

Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are working to develop a vaccine for the treatment of renal cell cancer.

According to a study that was published in Urologic Oncology, patients with metastatic non-clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) have worse outcomes from first-line therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) than patients with metastatic clear-cell RCC (ccRCC).

New developments in cross-sectional imaging, including contrast-enhanced ultrasound, dual-energy computed tomography, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, single-photon emission computed tomography, and positron emission tomography, together with novel application of existing and novel radiotracers, have changed the landscape of renal mass characterization (ie, virtual biopsy) as well as the detection of metastatic disease, prognostication, and response assessment in patients with advanced kidney cancer.
