Intratumoral expression of genes involved in the HIF-VEGF-VEGFR-pro-angiogenic pathway, especially VEGFR2, is associated with favorable outcome on sunitinib in m-ccRCCs. Several genes involved in this pathway are upregulated in the molecular ccrcc2-subgroup, which usually responds well to sunitinib.
With a global MRONJ-incidence of 11%, patients receiving concomitant treatment with VEGFR-TKIs and BRIs have a five to ten times higher risk for development of MRONJ compared to patients treated with BRIs alone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
