Simple Summary: This comprehensive systematic review provides valuable insights into the landscape of biomarkers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and their potential applications in the prediction of treatment response, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring. One of the major challenges in ccRCC is determining the most effective treatment strategies and identifying patients who would benefit from adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of biomarkers in ccRCC and their utility in the prediction of treatment response, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring in patients receiving systemic therapy for metastatic disease. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating biomarker assessment into clinical practice to guide treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes in ccRCC. Background: Challenges remain in determining the most effective treatment strategies and identifying patients who would benefit from adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy in renal cell carcinoma. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of biomarkers in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) and their utility in prediction of treatment response, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring in patients receiving systemic therapy for metastatic disease. Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed database for relevant studies published between January 2017 and December 2022. The search focused on biomarkers associated with mRCC and their relationship to immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapy, and VEGF inhibitors in the adjuvant, neoadjuvant, and metastatic settings. Results: The review identified various biomarkers with predictive, prognostic, and therapeutic monitoring potential in mRCC. The review also discussed the challenges associated with anti-angiogenic and immune-checkpoint monotherapy trials and highlighted the need for personalized therapy based on molecular signatures. Conclusion: This comprehensive review provides valuable insights into the landscape of biomarkers in mRCC and their potential applications in prediction of treatment response, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring. The findings underscore the importance of incorporating biomarker assessment into clinical practice to guide treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes in mRCC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
