Monoclonal Antibody Therapy of Kidney Cancer

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 116))

Abstract

There is a clear need for effective treatment of metastasized Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC): despite intensive efforts to develop an effective treatment, once RCC has metastasized, treatment options are very limited. This tumor is not radiosensitive, resistant to chemotherapy, and treatment with biological response modifiers (IL-2, IFN) leads to low response rates.
