ccRCC

The 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GU 2023) kicked off on February 16th in San Francisco, USA. In the field of kidney cancer diagnosis, a novel molecular imaging agent, 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab, has been shown to accurately diagnose clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In the first-line treatment area, the CheckMate 9ER study reported extended follow-up data, while the COSMIC-313 study presented data on IMDC subgroup patients. Additionally, research explored the improvement of complete response rates in first-line immunotherapy patients through local treatments and the benefits of reducing the number and duration of immunotherapy treatments for untreated survival. In the area of second-line treatment, CaboPoint reported positive anti-tumor activity of cabozantinib for immunotherapy-resistant patients.
