Tom Powles on RCC patients receiving ICI therapy
Tom Powles shared on X:
“During the period of PD-1 inhibition availability for RCC in the UK only 60% of patients with progressive renal cancers (n>1000) received ICI therapy(1st-3rd line).
This occurred across IMDC risk groups.
Assuming all patients will eventually receive ICI is not supported by data.”
