Advanced Renal Cancer
 

Video: Targeted Therapies for Kidney Cancer

Six new targeted therapies have improved treatment for Advanced, Metastatic Kidney Cancer in recent years.  These include anti-angiogenesis inhibitors, which destroy blood vessels that surround tumors; and mTOR inhibitors, which interfere with a process that fuels growth in cancer cells.  These new drugs have significantly increased survival for many patients and have fewer side effects than chemotherapy.
