Neo-adjuvant therapies for RCC
Dr. Camillo PortaS.C. di Oncologia MedicaI.R.C.C.S. Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia
Back to the basics:terminology
• Neo-adjuvant therapy:– Treatment given as a first step to shrink a
tumor before the main treatment, which is usually surgery, is given
NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms
Neo-adjuvant Tx:pros and cons
Pro Cons
Litmus test for patients who will do well Therapy may impact wound healing and recoveryPotential for higher incidence of wound complications
Incorporates cytoreductive surgery to examine tissue before and after therapy for endpoint targets
Local tumor progression in non-responders increases complexity of the surgeryMore “ectomies”= Worse outcome
May see responses in the primary tumor not seen before
Timing is everythingWhy interrupt a therapeutic response?Who wants to operate on therapy refractory disease?
Eliminates unnecessary and morbid surgery in patients who don’t respond
Are we able to achievetumor shrinkage?
Escudier B, et al. ECCO 13 – the European Cancer Conference, Paris, October 30-November 3, 2005; abs.794.
Sorafenib treatment
Shuch B, et al. BJU Int 2008;102:692-696
Level II thrombus Level I thrombus
Sunitinib treatment(4 cycles)
Are we able to achievetumor shrinkage?
Jonasch E, et al. J Clin Oncol 2009;27:4076-81
Baseline 8 Weeks of therapy
Bevacizumab treatment
Are we able to achievetumor shrinkage?
The issue is: how much tumorshrinkage are we really able to achieve?

Are there risks with suchan approach?

– Pre-operative albumin
– Smoking status (never, current, former)
– Pre-operative hemoglobin
– Laparoscopic vs open surgery

How to deal with these issues?

Conclusions
CG Wood, personal communication
• Present, initial, body of evidencewould suggest that
significant primary tumor downstagingwill not be realized with the current generation
of targeted therapy agents
