Metastatic tropism of molecularly defined clear-cell renal cell carcinoma clusters

Abstract

BACKGROUND The relationship between molecular subgroups in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and metastatic tropism is poorly understood.METHODS We analyzed over 5,000 metastatic sites from 305 treatment-naive ccRCC patients in the IMmotion150 phase II clinical trial, where patients were randomized to atezolizumab, atezolizumab/bevacizumab, or sunitinib.RESULTS Angiogenic tumors (clusters 1 and 2) had a higher rate of pancreatic (21% vs. 6.9%; P = 0.002) and lower absolute number of lymph node (2.5 vs. 4.2; P = 0.006) metastases. In contrast, proliferative tumors (clusters 4 and 5) exhibited a higher absolute number of lymph node metastases (5.5 vs. 3.5; P = 0.019). Patients with pancreatic metastases receiving sunitinib had higher odds of overall response (OR, 7.13; 95% CI, 1.81–28.07; P = 0.0049) and longer progression-free survival than those without pancreatic metastases (P = 0.02).CONCLUSION ccRCC metastatic tropism relates to molecular clusters that predict response to therapy for tumors that metastasize to the pancreas.TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01984242FUNDING NIH grants R01CA154475 and P50CA196516.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
