Current treatment approach to non-clear cell renal carcinoma

Abstract

Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma has various histologic subtypes. Tumor biology plays significant role in the disease development. However, despite the one surgical approach both to clear cell and non-clear cell renal carcinoma, patients’ outcomes within one stage of the disease may vary. Furthermore, tumor sensitivity and its response to therapy are highly dependent on the same histologic subtype.

The article gives detailed data on the current treatment of papillary, chromophobe and other histologic subtypes of renal cell carcinoma.
