title: Treatment of recurrent or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: The management of recurrent renal cell carcinoma is challenging as it requires close collaboration between surgeons, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists. To date, treatment options for metastatic disease have been of modest benefit. The disease has therefore been a good model for novel drug development programs. These endeavors are now bearing fruit with exciting preliminary data now emerging in relation to a number of novel agents.
