Abstract
Several molecular pathways are implicated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) pathogenesis, including von Hippel--Lindau (VHL) gene inactivation leading to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Therapeutic targeting of VEGF and related pathways has been undertaken in metastatic RCC. Substantial clinical activity has been reported for multiple agents, leading to several clinical questions regarding the optimal use of these agents. The biology, clinical results, and future considerations regarding VEGF-targeted agents in RCC are presented in this article.
