Pazopanib - dilemmas in kidney cancer treatment
Journal Title: OncoReview - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Progress in metastatic renal cell carcinoma treatment is generally based on new registered drugs. This brings improvement of results but it also needs the choice of proper drug. The decision is especially important in initial therapy where there are few drugs with similar properties. The choice of drug in first line is based on prognostic factors and clinical profiles of drug and patient. Important are also patient’s expectations connected with treatment. COMPARZ trail shows results of comparison between sunitinib and pazopanib which both are given in first line treatment of mRCC. Based on this the decision of choosing proper drug seems to be easier.
