Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma is a highly vascular tumor associated with expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Recently, VEGF-targeted therapies have been identified as a promising therapeutic approach. Three agents targeting the VEGF pathway have shown clinical activity as monotherapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma: the anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody, bevacizumab, and small-molecule VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors, sorafenib and sunitinib. This article explores these agents in terms of their mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, and toxicity profiles. This article also reviews future development strategies, including combination regimens and drug sequencing, trial design considerations, and patient selection opportunities.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 October 2022.
All research outputs
#2,223,049
of 23,506,079 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Cancer Research
#1,857
of 12,752 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#5,117
of 77,178 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Cancer Research
#11
of 159 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,506,079 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,752 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 77,178 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 159 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
