Patterns of Relapse and Implications for Post-Nephrectomy Surveillance for Patients with High-Risk Non-Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma: Subgroup Analysis of the Phase 3 ECOG-ACRIN E2805 Trial

The natural history of non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas (non-ccRCC) following surgery with curative intent remains poorly defined, with post-operative surveillance informed by guidelines largely intended for clear cell RCC (ccRCC). We evaluated the patterns of relapse and potential implications for post-nephrectomy surveillance for patients with non-ccRCC enrolled in the largest randomized trial of adjuvant anti-angiogenic therapy for high-risk RCC (E2805).
