8 Risk Models

9 Prognostic Factors for mrcc Two scales largely used: 1. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) 2. International mrcc Database Consortium (IMDC)

10 MSKCC model Developed from patients treated with IFN-based regimens. 1. Poor performance status (Karnofsky <80%) 2. Less than a 1-year interval from diagnosis to treatment 3. High serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level (>1.5 UNL) 4. High serum calcium level (>10 mg/dl) 5. Low hemoglobin concentration Motzer. J Clin Oncol 2002

11 MSKCC model Risk group Favorable Intermediate Poor OS, median 30 months 14 months 5 months Motzer. J Clin Oncol 2002

12 IMDC model Developed from patients treated with VEGF-TARGETED therapies. 1. Poor performance status (Karnofsky <80%) 2. Less than a 1-year interval from diagnosis to treatment 3. High absolute neutrophil count 4. High platelet count 5. High serum calcium level (>10 mg/dl) 6. Low hemoglobin concentration Heng. Lancet Oncol 2013

13 IMDC model # risk factors Risk group OS, median 0 Favourable 43 months 1 2 Intermediate 22 months 3 Poor 8 months Heng. Lancet Oncol 2013

14 Importance of prognostication 1. Patient counseling 2. Clinical trial risk stratification 3. Planning therapy Heng. Eur Urol 2014

15 Treatment for mrcc

16 Treatment for mrcc 1. Surgical 2. Radiation therapy 3. Systemic therapy

17 Surgery in mrcc

18 Cytoreductive nephrectomy: IFN era Prospective phase 3 trials: Survival advantage over no surgery 11.1 months vs. 8.1 months p = months vs. 7.0 months p = 0.03 Flanigan. N Engl J Med 2001 Mickisch. Lancet 2001

19 Cytoreductive nephrectomy: targeted therapy era Retrospective analyses: Survival advantage over no surgery 17.1 months vs. 8.1 months 20.6 months vs. 9.6 months Hanna. J Clin Oncol 2016 Heng. Eur Urol 2014

20 Candidates for cytoreductive nephrectomy Most patients treated with targeted therapy EXCEPT (may not benefit from CN): 1. Patients with estimated survival times <12 months 2. or 4 IMDC prognostic factors Heng. Eur Urol 2014

21 Proposed decision-making strategy for the treatment of mrcc Kidney with primary tumor in place? Consider cytoreductive nephrectomy with or without metastasectomy Modified from: Motzer. NEJM 2017

22 Radiation therapy

23 Radiation therapy Radioresistant tumor Used for palliation of symptoms 30% of patients will require it for palliation Brain metastases Bone metastases Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy to metastatic sites? selected cases Shaikh. Urology 2015 Straka. J Clin Oncol 2013

46 Take-home messages: mrcc treatment If feasible and justifiable: debulking nephrectomy before systemic therapy FIRST-LINE For good-risk patients, start with: VEGFR inhibitors (pazopanib, sunitinib or IFN-α + bevacizumab) For intermediate-risk patients, start with: Cabozantinib or another VEGR inhibitor For poor-risk patients, start with: Temsirolimus or Cabozantinib

47 Take-home messages: mrcc treatment SECOND-LINE Progression after VEGR inhibitor AND expected disease control: Maintain mechanism of action; use lenvatinib + everolimus or cabozantinib (if not previously used) Progression after VEGR inhibitor AND short-time or non-disease control: Change mechanism of action; use nivolumab

48 Take-home messages: mrcc treatment THIRD-LINE Use cabozantinib or nivolumab; the one that you didn't use previously FOURTH-LINE (only PFS benefit) Axitinib, everolimus or sorafenib NON-CLEAR RENAL CELL CARCINOMA General approach to treatment, mirrors that for clear-cell mrcc
