Summary

This study tested whether giving a combination of two drugs (cadonilimab and lenvatinib) before surgery could shrink kidney tumors enough to allow a partial, kidney-sparing operation instead of full removal. It included 39 adults with clear cell kidney cancer whose tumors were large or in tricky locations. The goal was to see if the drugs made surgery safer and more successful.
