Multimodal Recurrence Scoring System for Stratifying Stage III Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma of Receiving Adjuvant Treatment

A Multi-site, Open, Perspective Study of Prognostic Value and Benefit From Adjuvant Targeted Therapy of Stage III Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Based on Multimodal Recurrence Scoring System

Whether patients with stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) should receive adjuvant targeted therapy or not is still on debate. The investigators invented a multimodal recurrence scoring system that was successfully categorise patients with stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma into high-risk and low-risk groups with Hazard Ratio (HR) of 6.21. Here the investigators randomly assign assay-defined high risk patients of locally advanced ccRCC into adjuvant targeted therapy group and observation group. Disease free survival and overall survival are the end points of observation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The informed consent has been obtained from the patient.
• With confirmed diagnosis of stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma
• With moderate/good Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) health rating (PS): 0-1 score.
• The patient receive no anti-cancer treatment before primary surgery.
• The patient receive radical operation for renal cancer with negative margin.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have previously received neoadjuvant therapy
• With severe comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic renal dysfunction.
• With bad compliance or contraindication to enrollment.
• Pregnant woman or lactating woman.
• With contraindication to receive adjuvant targeted therapy.
