Immune checkpoint inhibition is the new backbone of first-line treatment in advanced clear cell RCC. This program, endorsed by the Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA), focusses on the outcomes of the Checkmate 214 trial of nivolumab plus ipilimumab in untreated advanced RCC, and its recent 42 month follow-up. A useful refresher on checkpoint inhibition in cancer sets the scene, and the program also features case studies and expert videos exploring RCC prognostication, treatment selection and managing the adverse effects of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.
