Abstract:Objective:The feasibility and safety of a presurgical treatment approach with Sunitinib or Sorafenib for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were to be evaluated and its potential ability to reduce the surgical morbidity explored. Methods:Between June 2009 and June 2013, 8 patients were treated with targeted therapy and subsequently underwent resection. Toxicities, surgical complications, and tumor responses were monitored. Results:Five male and three female Rcc patients received the presurgical targeted therapy.The average age was 49 years old.The diagnosis included two bilateral Rcc,one isolated Rcc and five Rcc with a level Ⅲ/Ⅳ vena cava tumour thrombus.Three patients received Sorafenib 400 mg Bid and five received Sunitinib 50 mg Qd 4/2 weeks schedule.The average presurgical treatment time was 12.5 weeks.The main adverse reaction(AE) included thrombopenia, leucopenia, hand-foot reaction, hypothyroidism and hypertension.The median change in primary renal cell carcinoma tumors was a 21% (10%-32%)decrease, corresponding to a median absolute reduction of 1.7(1.0-2.7)cm. All patients received drug discontinuance for 2-3 weeks before operation.Three patients received laparoscopic nephron sparing surgery and five patients received nephrectomy and vena cava tumour thrombus removal surgery.All patients had viable renal cell carcinoma in the surgical specimen. Conclusions:The administration of preoperative targeted therapy can impact the size and density of the primary tumor and appears safe and feasible. More Rcc patients can receive nephron-sparing partial nephrectomy. Also, presurgical targeted therapy may not increase the death rate and complication rate.
