Newly-presented potential targeted drugs in the treatment of renal cell cancer

Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most frequent form of renal cancer, and is associated with a high frequency of metastasis. While, there is few therapeutic methods can substantially prolong survival. Superior to cytokine therapy with IL-2 and/or IFN-a, several newer targeted treatments are available for the treatment of patients with advanced conventional (clear cell) renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which received improved outcomes. These newer targeted treatments include the multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs, sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, and axitinib), the humanised antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody [bevacizumab combined with interferon (IFN)-a], and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) complex 1 kinase inhibitors (everolimus and temsirolimus). However, these targeted drugs are still associated with limited efficacy and high toxicity, so there is still a strong need for further discovery of new targeted drugs. In the present manuscript, we summarize newly-presented potential targeted drugs for RCC, classified by drug characteristic, small molecule, small molecule combination, monoclonal antibody, polysaccharides, organometals and peptides.
