Zusammenfassung

Die Therapie des Nierenzellkarzinoms (NCC) hat sich in den letzten 5 Jahren einem raschen Wandel unterzogen. Eine kurative Behandlung stellt nach wie vor die chirurgische Therapie dar. Inzwischen haben Nephron sparende Eingriffe, die palliative Nephrektomie und Teilresektionen das chirurgische Repertoire erweitert. Die Systemtherapie des metastasierten NCC basiert seit den frühen 1980er Jahren auf dem Einsatz der Immuntherapie. Sunitinib und Sorafenib stellen seit 10 Jahren die ersten Neuzulassungen zur systemischen Therapie dar. Beide Medikamente zeigen eine außergewöhnliche klinische Aktivität und sind Vertreter der ersten Generation von Medikamenten einer neuen Therapieära des NCC. Daneben befinden sich weitere neue Substanzen in der klinischen Entwicklung. Der Einsatz dieser neuen Monotherapien und die Testung neuer Kombinationsregimes sind Gegenstand aktueller klinischer Forschung und helfen, die zukünftige Therapie des NCC vielfältig zu gestalten.

Abstract

Over the past 5 years, the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has undergone a dramatic change. Surgery in the early disease stages is still the only known curative treatment modality, while palliative nephrectomy, nephron sparing surgery and partial resection have now enriched the surgical repertoire. During the early 1980s, immunotherapies remained the mainstay of systemic treatment of metastatic RCC. Sorafenib and sunitinib were the first new drugs to be approved for the treatment of advanced or metastatic RCC in the past 10 years. Both drugs show tremendous potency and provide novel future perspectives for drug treatment in RCC. Currently, the optimal combination of drugs is being explored in clinical studies and results are thought to elucidate the role of combined targeted therapies in RCC.
