Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) cannot be cured by
surgery alone. Its resillience to irradiation and
chemotherapy demands a new approach to the management of
this disease.
This book
provides an overview of the scientific and clinical
developments of RCC,
and clarifies the fields ofimmunotherapy and
immunobiology.
The book contains a compilation of approaches that will
enhance the effectiveness of the management of advancedRCC,
even in the absence of definitive pre-clinical data. These
require additional study and will stimulate the reassessment
of preliminary results.Furthermore, preliminary results
of already implemented clinical trials withbiological
modifiers are presented. Of special interest are the current
achievements in the
field of immunotherapy using topically and subcutaneously
low dosage combinations of cytokines.
This concise volume
will benefit those seeking a thorough review of the research
and the clinical aspects of RCC simultaneously.
