RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Oncological outcomes in patients with nonclear cell renal cell carcinoma (non-ccRCC) treated with surgery for locoregional nodal disease (ND) remain incompletely characterized. The objective was to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of non-ccRCC patients treated with lymph node dissection (LND) and salvage-LND (S-LND). METHODS: A total of 1627 patients underwent nephrectomy for nonmetastatic non-ccRCC at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center between 2007 and 2023. Histology was grouped as papillary, chromophobe, unclassified, and rare subtypes. Retrospective evaluation identified 2.5% (n = 40) of patients with nodal disease at time of nephrectomy (synchronous-ND) and 1.1% (n = 18) with metachronous nodal disease limited to the retroperitoneum (metachronous-ND). Patients' demographics and tumor characteristics were recorded and evaluated by univariate and multivariate cox regression models. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients who underwent tumor DNA sequencing during their clinical course were considered for genomic analysis. RESULTS: OS trended toward longer in metachronous-ND (51 vs 105 months; P = .2), though 23% of patients with synchronous-ND were recurrence-free at 45 months median follow-up. In multivariate analysis, rare histologies were associated with decreased OS (P = .030) and metachronous-ND with improved OS (P = .036). RFS and OS after S-LND was 15 and 96 months, respectively. Late onset of metachronous-ND/recurrence was associated with improved OS (P = .008). Genetic alterations in SETD2, TP53, B2M, and FGFR3 were exclusively seen in synchronous-ND, and tumor mutation burden (TMB) was also higher in patients with synchronous-ND (P = .016). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with metachronous-ND tend to have prolonged OS compared to synchronous-ND, but a substantial portion of patients with synchronous-ND still enter a durable disease-free state following LND. S-LND can likewise provide long-term survival, particularly in patients with longer time to metachronous nodal recurrence. Synchronous-ND was associated with SETD2, TP53, and NF2 alteration as well as higher TMB.

PURPOSE: The use of systemic immune checkpoint blockade before surgery is increasing in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, however, the safety and feasibility of performing consolidative cytoreductive nephrectomy after the administration of systemic therapy are not well described. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of patients undergoing nephrectomy was performed using our prospectively maintained institutional database. Patients who received preoperative systemic immunotherapy were identified, and the risk of postoperative complications were compared to those who underwent surgery without upfront systemic treatment. Perioperative characteristics and surgical complications within 90 days following surgery were recorded. RESULTS: Overall, we identified 220 patients who underwent cytoreductive nephrectomy from April 2015 to December 2022, of which 46 patients (21%) received systemic therapy before undergoing surgery. Unadjusted rates of surgical complications included 20% (nâ¯=â¯35) in patients who did not receive upfront systemic therapy and 20% (nâ¯=â¯9) in those who received upfront systemic immunotherapy. In our propensity score analysis, there was no statistically significant association between receipt of upfront immunotherapy and 90-day surgical complications [odds ratio (OR): 1.82, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.59-5.14; Pâ¯=â¯0.3]. This model, however, demonstrated an association between receipt of upfront immunotherapy and an increased odds of requiring a blood transfusion [OR: 4.53, 95% CI: 1.83-11.7; Pâ¯=â¯0.001]. CONCLUSION: In our cohort, there was no significant difference in surgical complications among patients who received systemic therapy before surgery compared to those who did not receive upfront systemic therapy. Cytoreductive nephrectomy is safe and with low rates of complications following the use of systemic therapy.

Treatment options are limited for patients with non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC). Patients with nccRCC experienced a favorable objective response rate (ORR) in a phase 2 trial of cabozantinib plus nivolumab. We now report updated efficacy and safety results at median follow-up of 34 mo for patients with papillary, unclassified, or translocation-associated RCC. Cabozantinib and nivolumab were administered at standard doses to patients with metastatic nccRCC that had progressed on zero or one line of systemic therapy. The primary endpoint was the ORR according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events. Forty patients were treated. At median follow-up of 34 mo for survivors, the ORR was 48% (95% confidence interval [CI] 31.5-63.9%). Median PFS was 13 mo (95% CI 7-16); the 12-mo and 24-mo PFS rates were 51% (95% CI 34-65%) and 23% (95% CI 11-37%), respectively. Median OS was 28 mo (95% CI 23-43); the 18-mo and 36-mo OS rates were 70% (95% CI 53-82%) and 44% (95% CI 28-60%), respectively. No new safety signals were seen with cabozantinib and nivolumab. This extended follow-up analysis demonstrates promising efficacy, and highlights the potential for sustained responses with cabozantinib plus nivolumab in patients with metastatic nccRCC.

BACKGROUND: Molecular profiles of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) brain metastases (BMs) are not well characterized. Effective management with locoregional therapies, including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), is critical as systemic therapy advancements have improved overall survival (OS). OBJECTIVE: To identify clinicogenomic features of RCC BMs treated with SRS in a large patient cohort. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A single-institution retrospective analysis was conducted of all RCC BM patients treated with SRS from January 1, 2010 to March 31, 2021. INTERVENTION: SRS for RCC BMs. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Next-generation sequencing was performed to identify gene alterations more prevalent in BM patients. Clinical factors and genes altered in ≥10% of samples were assessed per patient using Cox proportional hazards models and per individual BM using clustered competing risks regression with competing risk of death. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Ninety-one RCC BM patients underwent SRS to 212 BMs, with a median follow-up of 38.8 mo for patients who survived. The median intracranial progression-free survival and OS were 7.8 (interquartile range [IQR] 5.7-11) and 21 (IQR 16-32) mo, respectively. Durable local control of 83% was achieved at 12 mo after SRS, and 59% of lesions initially meeting the radiographic criteria for progression at 3-mo evaluation would be considered to represent pseudoprogression at 6-mo evaluation. A comparison of genomic alterations at both the gene and the pathway level for BM+ patients compared with BM- patients revealed phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway alterations to be more prevalent in BM+ patients (43% vs 16%, p = 0.001, q = 0.01), with the majority being PTEN alterations (17% vs 2.7%, p = 0.003, q = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the largest study investigating genomic profiles of RCC BMs and the only such study with annotated intracranial outcomes. SRS provides durable in-field local control of BMs. Recognizing post-SRS pseudoprogression is crucial to ensure appropriate management. The incidence of PI3K pathway alterations is more prevalent in BM+ patients than in BM- patients and warrants further investigation in a prospective setting. PATIENT SUMMARY: We examined the outcomes of radiotherapy for the treatment of brain metastases in kidney cancer patients at a single large referral center. We found that radiation provides good control of brain tumors, and certain genetic mutations may be found more commonly in patients with brain metastasis.
