Abstract

Efficacy and safety of sorafenib in patients with advanced renal cancer were evaluated. Seventy-four patients with advanced renal cancer treated with sorafenib + interferon from January 2010 to August 2013 were included as the observation group. Another 53 renal cancer patients treated with interferon alone were included in the control group. Clinical data of those patients were retrospectively analyzed. Treatment plan: initial dose was 400 mg, twice a day. Additionally, patients in the interferon group were treated with another 300 MU every other day. Efficacy was evaluated according to RECIST criteria, and progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and incidence of adverse reactions were recorded. In the observation group, a median OS was 15.3 months (range, 9-60 months), and a median PFS was 8.2 months (range, 2-36 months). There were 4 cases of complete remission (CR) (5.41%), 16 cases of partial remission (PR) (21.62%), 42 cases of stable disease (SD) (56.76%), 12 cases of disease progression (16.22%), and disease control rate (DCR) was 83.78% (62 cases). In the control group, median OS time was 12.5 months (range, 8-60 months), and the median PFS time was 9.3 months (range, 2-40 months). There were 2 cases of CR (3.77%), 11 cases of PR (20.75%), 20 cases of SD (37.74%), 20 cases of disease progression (37.74%), and DCR was 62.26% (33 cases). Disease control rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Main adverse events in the groups were skin reaction, fever, diarrhea, fatigue, rash, loss of appetite, hypertension, hair loss and liver function abnormality. Sorafenib-based targeted therapy for the treatment of advanced renal cancer has a higher rate of disease control, and the adverse reactions are controllable and tolerable.
