Abstract
Curative surgery in more advanced renal cell carcinoma is limited to solitary metastases or regional disease. Response to systemic immunotherapy continues to be reported; however, most responses are limited and not durable. Only randomized, prospective clinical trials will prove the efficacy of systemic therapy.Keywords
