ECCO 2017 | Treating non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients

Laurence Albiges, MD, PhD, from the Gustave Roussy Institute, Villejuif, France discusses treating non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma at the European Cancer Congress of the European Cancer Organisation (ECCO) 2017 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. There is limited data on treatment for metastatic non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma due to a lack of clinical trials. However, trials will soon be launched addressing this problem, and the TCGA genomic survey led to a greater understanding of the biology of the tumors. Guiding patients towards the most effective first-line treatments will hopefully improve as a greater understanding is found.
