Title

Pazopanib—the Latest First-Line Standard of Care Targeted Kinase Inhibitor for the Treatment of Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma

Abstract

Kidney cancer is the most lethal of the genitourinary malignancies.

The mid-portion of the last decade saw born a new class of drugs aimed at the angiogenesis/VEGF pathway, common to most clear-cell RCC. The latest FDA-approved compound in this class has promised to yield equal or better first-line efficacy as its predecessors while, perhaps, providing better tolerability. Here we review the available data at present regarding pazopanib.
