Summary

This study looks at whether removing the kidney after successful immunotherapy can help patients with metastatic kidney cancer stop all treatment and stay cancer-free. About 60 adults whose tumors have shrunk significantly with immunotherapy will be randomly assigned to either have surgery and stop medication, or continue medication without surgery. The goal is to see if surgery can lead to a long-term cure and reduce the need for ongoing drugs.
