Beyond Traditional Outcomes: Improving Quality of Life in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract: The introduction of molecular targeted therapies for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma has provided treatment options that are more efficacious and better tolerated than cytokine therapy, the previous standard of care. These advances have led to renewed efforts to define the health-related quality of life (

“…Both specific treatment-related AEs and treatment-induced relief from disease-related symptoms affect QoL. From trials in RCC, sorafenib therapeutic efficacy against malignancy seems to improve emotional well-being despite bothersome treatmentrelated AEs [138]. Prevention and management of specific sorafenib toxicity play a pivotal role to preserve HRQoL; so we think specific educational programs should be implemented on both patients and health professionals.…”

“…Prevention and management of specific sorafenib toxicity play a pivotal role to preserve HRQoL; so we think specific educational programs should be implemented on both patients and health professionals. Furthermore, in those neoplasms in which more treatment options are available, HRQoL outcomes in earlier lines of therapy may guide treatment choice for subsequent therapy [138,139].…”

“…Until the last few years, the prognosis for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (metastatic kidney cancer) was very poor [1]. In fact, metastatic kidney cancer was considered one of the most unmanageable cancers, with patients surviving for a median of 7-11 months and only one in ten still surviving 5 years later [2].…”

“…Yukarıda bahsedilen IFN-α ve IL-2 gibi klasik tedaviler yaşam kalitesine negatif etki oluşturan yüksek seviyede toksisite oluşmasına neden olmaktadırlar. Hedefe yönelik ajanların ise yüksek etkinlik ve daha iyi tolere edilebilmeleri ile sitokinlere kıyasla yaşam kalitesine daha olumlu etkileri vardır (6) (11). Metastatik RHK'nin semptomlarını içeren ve 9 maddeden oluşan daha sade bir skaladır.…”
