Renal Cell Carcinoma (Kidney Cancer) Support Group
Renal cell carcinoma, also known by a gurnistical tumor, is the most common form of kidney cancer arising from the renal tubule. It is the most common type of kidney cancer in adults. Initial therapy is with surgery. It is notoriously resistant to radiation therapy and chemotherapy, although some cases respond to immunotherapy.
I wonder if anyone knows anything about this treatment? My husband has been receiving monthly Zometa infusions for his bone mets, but they continue to grow, and I've been hearing good things about this drug - seems it's been doing better than Zometa in some trials.
Many thanks
