Abstract
Purpose: The outcome of RCC has improved considerably in the last few years, and the treatment options have increased. LACOG-GU and LARCG held a consensus meeting to develop guidelines to support the clinical decisions of physicians and other health professionals involved in the care of RCC patients. Methods: Eighty questions addressing relevant advanced RCC treatments were previously formulated by a panel of experts. The voting panel comprised 26 specialists from the LACOG-GU/LARCG. Consensus was determined as 75% agreement. For questions with less than 75% agreement, a new discussion was held, and consensus was determined by the majority of votes after the second voting session. Results: The recommendations were based on the highest level of scientific evidence or by the opinion of the RCC experts when no relevant research data were available. Conclusion: This manuscript provides guidance for advanced RCC treatment according to the LACOG-GU/LARCG expert recommendations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
