  1. Adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapies for RCC Dr. Camillo Porta S.C. di OncologiaMedica I.R.C.C.S. Policlinico San Matteo, Pavia

  2. Back to the basics: terminology • Adjuvant therapy: • Additional cancer treatment given after the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer will come back • Neo-adjuvant therapy: • Treatment given as a first step to shrink a tumor before the main treatment, which is usually surgery, is given NCI Dictionary of Cancer Terms

  3. Adjuvant therapy

  4. The natural history of RCC • 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 1. National Cancer Institute. SEER cancer statistics fact sheet: cancer of the kidney and renal pelvis. Accessed 2009; 2. Flanigan RC et al. Curr Treat Options Oncol 2003;4:385–90.

  5. Completed RCTs of adjuvant Tx

  6. Completed RCTs of adjuvant Tx

  7. Meta-analysis of RCTs of adjuvant Tx Massari F, et al. Clin Genitourin Cancer 2013 (E-pub ahead of print)

  8. Ongoing RCTs of targeted agents as adjuvant Tx

  9. Adjuvant Tx for RCC: conclusions • To date, no treatment emerged as a standard of care in this setting • Presently, patients should be thus offered just obser-vation • Enrollment into well-desigend and adequately con-ducted RCTs is mandatory

  10. Neo-adjuvant therapy

  11. Neo-adjuvant Tx: pros and cons

  12. Are we able to achieve tumor shrinkage? Sorafenib treatment Escudier B, et al. ECCO 13 – the European Cancer Conference, Paris, October 30-November 3, 2005; abs.794.

  13. Are we able to achieve tumor shrinkage? Sunitinib treatment (4 cycles) Level I thrombus Level II thrombus Shuch B, et al. BJU Int 2008;102:692-696

  14. Are we able to achieve tumor shrinkage? 8 Weeks of therapy Baseline Bevacizumab treatment Jonasch E, et al. J Clin Oncol 2009;27:4076-81

  15. How much tumor shrinkage are we really able to achieve? Van der Veldt AAM, et al. Clin Cancer Res 2008;14:2431-6; Thomas AA, et al. J Urol 2009;181:518-23; Jonasch E, et al. J Clin Oncol 2009;27:4076-81

  19. Are there risks with such an approach? CG Wood, personal communication • *Adjusted for: • Pre-operative albumin • Smoking status (never, current, former) • Pre-operative hemoglobin • Laparoscopic vs open surgery • ECOG performance status • Body mass index • Age

  20. How to deal with these issues? Stages of wound healing II. cell proliferationand matrix deposition Consider drug half-life Temsirolimus: 17 hrs Sorafenib: 24-48 hrs Sunitinib: 60-110 hrs Bevacizumab: 14-21 days Pazopanib: 30.9 hrs I. inflammation III. matrix remodelling • Fibroplasia • Angiogenesis • Re-epithelization • Extracelluar matrix sythesis • Collagens • Fibronectin • Proteoglicans Maximum response • Granulocytes • Phagocytosis Extracellular matrixsynthesis, degradationand remodelling  Tensile strength  Cellularity  Vascularity • Bleeding • Coagulation • Platelet activation • Complement activation Withheld treatment for at least 2 or 3 half-lives before and after surgery • Macrophages • Cytokines Days after wounding (log scale)

  21. Prognostic factors for Sunitinib: nihil novo sub solem • Present, initial, body of evidence would suggest that significant primary tumor downstaging will not be realized with the current generation of targeted therapy agents CG Wood, personal communication
