| Abstrakt: | Purpose: In this study, we aimed to compare the data of sunitinib and pazopanib used in the first-line treatment of metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cases and to evaluate the effective factors in terms of survival. Methods: The records of 125 patients with metastatic RCC admitted between January 2005 and February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and 63 patients who received pazopanib or sunitinib were included in the study while 62 patients were excluded due to insufficient data. Clinical and histological characteristics, treatment responses, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of the patients were compared. Results: Patients with metastatic RCC who received pazopanib or sunitinib as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in first-line treatment were analyzed; 45 (71.4%) were male while 18 (28.6%) were female, and the median age was 60. 43 (68.3%) patients were treated with sunitinib and 20 (31.7%) with pazopanib. PFS of pazopanib and sunitinib were 10.6 and 7.2 months, respectively. Median OS was 14.5 months in patients receiving pazopanib and 13.6 months in those receiving sunitinib. There was no statistical difference in PFS and OS between both treatments. The median OS of clear-cell RCC was 15.2 months, while of non-clear-cell RCC was 7.7months. Conclusions: High ECOG score, non-clear-cell histology, presence of liver metastasis in metastatic RCC patients were found to be associated with shorter OS and PFS. Sunitinib and pazopanib produced similar OS and PFS rates in first-line treatment of metastatic RCC. |
