Abstract:Papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is a less common subtype of kidney cancer and is typically more resistant to systemic treatments. This report describes a patient with metastatic type II PRCC who experienced two complete responses (CR) to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sunitinib. The patient remains on sunitinib with durable control of the disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of metastatic type II PRCC with CR to sunitinib.
