Abstract

Antiangiogenic treatment initiation justifies a clinical and biological pretherapeutic assessment and a close follow-up of side effects according to each drug. Because of potential healing complications, a deadline of 4 weeks after surgery is recommended before starting antiangiogenic treatment. The optimal sequence and the potential role of neo-adjuvant therapies remain to define. In the absence of prospective data, nephrectomy is still recommended in renal cell carcinoma management.
