title: Concepts in advanced renal carcinoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Treatment options for advanced renal cell carcinoma have increased dramatically over the past 6 years as a result of improved understanding of the biology of renal cancer and the development of therapies to target pathways relevant to tumor progression.
  
  
  METHODS
  Research-based articles.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  New therapies to treat advanced renal cell cancer results in a need for evidence-based decision making when discussing treatment choices.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Knowledge of therapeutic strategies, their proposed mechanism of action, potential adverse events, and management strategies provides nurses with a foundation to provide appropriate patient education and effective management of treatment-related side effects, assisting patients to maximize clinical outcomes.
