The expert from Cedars-Sinai Cancer spoke about the continued integration of immunotherapy-based combination regimens, and the importance of utilizing the multidisciplinary care team to mitigate any possible toxicities that may arise.
The use of immunotherapy and immunotherapy-based combination regimens have demonstrated significant benefits for patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Longer term follow-up for treatment regimens such as nivolumab (Opdivo) and ipilumumab (Yervoy) or pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and axitinib (Inlyta) have shown deeper and sustained responses for patients with untreated metastatic disease.
