THE AUTHOR’S EXPERIENCE IN USING BEVACIZUMAB PLUS INTERFERON ALFA-2A IN PATIENTS WITH DISSEMINATED RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

Abstract

Target therapy is a main approach to treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Bevacizumab plus interferon alfa-2A is now standard first-line options for patients with previously untreated, good or intermediate prognosis (using the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center criteria). We have presented our experience in using bevacisumab plus interferon alfa-2A in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 10 months and 22 months, respectively.
