Timing of Maximum Tumor Shrinkage May Predict mRCC Pt Survival
NEW ORLEANS—The timing of maximum tumor shrinkage in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) may be useful as a biomarker for predicting overall survival, Japanese researchers reported at the 2015 American Urological Association annual meeting. Takafumi Yagisawa, MD, and colleagues at Tokyo Women’s Medical University, based this conclusion on a study of 199 mRCC…
