Abstract
Patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have a poor prognosis due to the failure of this tumor entity to respond to conventional therapeutic approaches such as irradiation or chemotherapy. Since the introduction of interleukin-2 based immunotherapy by Rosenberg et al. there has been some clinical progress in the treatment of metastatic RCC [1].
