Summary: | Background
No report has evaluated axitinib-induced proteinuria as a biomarker for predicting treatment efficacy and survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
Methods
The subjects were patients with mRCC treated with axitinib at Kinki University Hospital from February 2008 to November 2014. Clinical records were retrospectively reviewed including baseline patient characteristics, time-dependent changes of urinary protein status, computed tomography scans of metastatic lesions, treatment duration with axitinib, and survival time.
Results
A total of 45 patients were evaluable. Median tumor shrinkage rates were 32.3 and 35.0 % in patients with urinary protein increases ≥+2 and |
