OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Advances in the biologic understanding of renal cell cancer (RCC) and the emergence of clinical trial data with targeted therapeutic agents have resulted in the availability of novel treatment strategies for this challenging disease. In order to offer optimal patient care — including the option of clinical trial participation — the practicing medical or urologic oncologist must be well informed of these rapidly evolving data sets. To bridge the gap between research and patient care, Renal Cell Cancer Update utilizes one-on-one discussions with leading oncology investigators. By providing access to the latest research developments and expert perspectives, this CME activity assists medical and urologic oncologists with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies.
