Major cancer trial questions need for surgery

NCT ID NCT00930033

Summary

This study aimed to find out if patients with kidney cancer that has spread (metastasized) live longer by having their kidney removed first, followed by the drug sunitinib, compared to just taking the drug alone. It involved 452 adults with a specific type of advanced kidney cancer. The goal was to see if the major surgery provides a meaningful survival benefit when combined with modern targeted drug therapy.
