Panelists discuss the nuanced approach to adverse effect management in non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC), highlighting a shift from aggressive toxicity management in the first-line setting aimed at prolonging survival to a patient-centered focus on quality of life and tolerability in later lines, emphasizing open communication and long-term treatment endurance.

Panelists discuss the complex management of papillary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after first-line progression, focusing on balancing effective second-line therapies like lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab with quality of life, the role of multidisciplinary care and surgery, the importance of close monitoring, and the critical need for clinical trial enrollment and genomic profiling to guide personalized treatment.

Panelists discuss the challenges of treating non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) after first-line progression, emphasizing the limited second-line options, the emerging use of immunotherapy (IO) and combination regimens, the need for subtype-specific strategies, and the critical role of clinical trial enrollment to advance care in this heterogeneous disease.

Panelists discuss recent advances in non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC) treatment, highlighting the emerging role of immunotherapy plus tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) combinations—particularly lenvatinib and pembrolizumab—in improving response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival across diverse subtypes, while emphasizing individualized care and proactive management.

Panelists discuss the challenges of managing intermediate-risk metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) after progression on first-line immunotherapy (IO)/tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, emphasizing cabozantinib’s role, individualized dosing strategies, proactive toxicity management, and the importance of patient-centered care to optimize long-term disease control and quality of life.

Panelists discuss evolving second-line treatment strategies for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), emphasizing the impact of first-line regimens, the growing role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and emerging combinations, and the need for clinical judgment in sequencing therapies to balance disease control, symptom management, and patient quality of life.

Panelists discuss the shift toward a more personalized approach in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) management, highlighting the evolving role of risk stratification, the renewed interest in immune checkpoint inhibitors for favorable-risk patients, and the strategic integration of systemic therapy, active surveillance, and surgical interventions to optimize long-term outcomes.

Panelists discuss current strategies for first-line treatment sequencing in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), emphasizing immunotherapy-based combinations tailored to disease burden and patient characteristics, while highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary care, real-world experience, and clinical trial data in guiding personalized, patient-centered decisions.
