Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:Clinical outcomes in older adults with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are poorly understood, particularly in the era of targeted therapies. We characterize survival and relevant treatment-related variables in a modern series. MATERIALS AND METHODS:From an institutional database including 562 patients with RCC, a total of 219 patients with metastatic disease were identified for the current analysis. Survival was assessed in four age-based cohorts: (1) age<55, (2) age 55–64, (3) age 65–74, and(4) age≥75. The number of lines of therapy rendered was collected for each patient, and the reason for treatment discontinuation was characterized. RESULTS:Of the 219 patients assessed, median age was 58 (range, 26–87), and most patients had clear cell histology (82%) and prior nephrectomy (70.9%). The majority of patients were characterized as intermediate-risk (53%) by MSKCC criteria. Median survival in patients age≥75 was 12.5 months, as compared to 26.4 months for patients age<75 (P=0.003). Patients age≥75 received fewer lines of systemic therapy as compared to other age-based subsets, and more frequently discontinued therapies due to toxicity. CONCLUSIONS:Older adults represent a unique subpopulation of patients with mRCC, with distinct clinical outcomes. Further research is warranted to better understand the safety and tolerability of current therapies for mRCC in this group.
