In this video, Farshid Sadeghi, MD, discussed data from the Cyto-KIK trial on renal cell carcinoma at American Urological Association Annual Meeting.

Sadeghi, a clinical assistant professor at City of Hope Phoenix, highlighted the study, which examined patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma being treated by a combination therapy of cabozantinib (Cabometyx, Exelixis) and immunotherapy, undergoing cytoreductive nephrectomy, and subsequently resuming the combination therapy.

“For us as surgeons it’s useful to know that after stopping cabozantinib for 2 weeks, patients can be taken to the operating group,” Sadeghi said.
