MADRID — In this video, Sumanta (Monty) Pal, MD, FASCO, shared his excitement about belzutifan data, a “big development” of ESMO Congress, in the renal cell carcinoma space.

“It appears that belzutifan is going to emerge as a practical choice for us in the third- and fourth-line setting,” Pal, co-director of City of Hope’s Kidney Cancer Program, HemOnc Today Editorial Board Member and member of the Kidney Cancer Association's Medical Steering Committee, told Healio.

He believes that there will be “a tremendous place” for belzutifan (Welireg, Merck) among certain patients.
