Description
Introduction Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 2% of all cancer deaths in the United Kingdom [1]. Whilst RCC localised to the kidney can be treated with radical nephrectomy [2], those presenting with locally invasive or metastatic cancer provide a far more difficult treatment challenge, as metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is poorly responsive to radiotherapy and notoriously chemo resistant [3], with a poor prognosis of 6-10 months median survival [4].
