Popis: This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects and adverse events of the multikinase inhibitors sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib and axitinib in advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed to assess the effects of multikinase inhibitors among patients with advanced RCC. The data of median progression-free survival (PFS), median overall survival (OS), progressive disease rate (PDR), objective response rate (ORR) and grade 3/4 adverse events were extracted to assess therapeutic effects and toxicity, respectively. It was found that multikinase inhibitors are more effective in extending PFS [hazard ratio (HR)=0.58; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.45–0.74; P
