Abstract
Surgery and immunotherapy are the mainstay in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Surgery, however, is associated with considerable perioperative immunodysfunction. This immunodysfunction can be modulated by pretreatment with Interleukin-2 (IL-2), which appears to prolong tumour-specific survival. Perioperative immunomodulation could help close the therapeutic gap between neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy. This article reviews recent literature and presents original data of 63 patients.
