Although the immune system plays a vital role in attacking tumor cells, the immune mechanisms vary from tumor to tumor, and factors in the tumor microenvironment can reduce the effectiveness of the body’s immune response.
Despite a perhaps overwhelming number of combination regimens available for use in the frontline setting for patients with renal cell carcinoma, treatment decisions can still largely boil down to a patient’s risk status. For second-line therapy, investigators are looking to contemporary trials for guidance.
