RCC: an unrelenting, progressive disease Presentation at diagnosis1: 45% with localized disease 25% with locally advanced disease 20–30% metastatic disease 33% of patients treated for localized disease will develop metastatic disease2 Common sites of metastasis include lung (75%), liver (18%), bone (20%), brain (8%)3 Median survival for patients with metastatic RCC (before the era of targeted agents) was 6–12 months4–7 1.

RCC: form the bench to the bedside RCC is a mainly sporadic (non-inherited) disease that occurs in 5 histologic subtypes, each caused by a different gene Clear cell (75-85%) Papillary (Type I + II) (12-14%) Chromophobic (4-6%) Oncocytic (2-4%) Collecting duct (1%) VHL C-met FH Birt-Hogg-Dubé
VHL in RCC: a link to angiogenesis … In the presence of a mutated/deleted VHL gene, HIF-1 is not destroyed via the proteasome/ ubiquitin pathway, and thus accumulates, leading to the transcription of hypoxia inducible genes This results in the production of a series of growth factors, including VEGF and PDGF-, ultimately leading to increased angiogenesis
VHL mutation/deletion Multiproteincomplex Increased glucose efflux VHL complex disrupted VHL protein Glut-1 -domain Mutant-domain HIF1-, HIF2- accumulation HIF HIF HIF VEGF CXCR4 PDGF TGF- Organ-specific metastasis Endothelial stabilisation Autocrine growth stimulation Angiogenesis … and much more Modified from: Bernards R.
