Authors' objectives:

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common primary renal cancer in adults. More than 25% of patients have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Their prognosis is extremely poor, with a median survival of 10 to 15 months, and a 5-year survival rate of less than 10%. Immunotherapy with interleukin-2 or interferon-alfa is considered usual care in advanced RCC. However, response rates are low for these immune-based treatments, and there are tolerability issues. Therefore, other types of immunotherapy are being investigated.
