1 Sunitinib (Sutent) for Renal Cell Cancer Blocking VEGF in Kidney Cancer is like Blocking Estrogen in Breast Cancer

2 Blocking VEGF in Kidney Cancer is like Blocking Estrogen in Breast Cancer Anti-VEGF agents have somewhat similar toxicities High-Dose Interleukin-2 can cure some patients with metastatic kidney cancer

32 Sorafenib (Nexavar) and Sunitinib (Sutent): Differences  Sorafenib given BID  Sorafenib probably less toxic  Dispensed via mail-order pharmacies only  Onyx/Bayer pharmaceuticals  In trial in combinations  Sunitinib given daily 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off  Sunitinib probably more potent but more toxic with fatigue and mild hematologic toxicity  Dispensed via local pharmacies  Sugen/Pfizer pharmaceuticals  In trial in combinations
