- Abstract
A 55-year-old man with a solitary kidney was diagnosed with an 8.5 cm renal cell carcinoma in the right kidney without metastasis. Twenty five months of sunitinib treatment reduced the tumor from 8.5 to 5.5 cm and enabled nephron-sparing surgery. He has no evidence of recurrence 58 months after the surgery.
