Clear represents histologic subtype, while papillary Cell Carcinoma (pRCC) 10-20% renal cancers. While inactivation VHL gene can be found in majority clear carcinomas, different molecular mechanisms are involved into pRCC biology. Mutations MET oncogene an essential step pathogenesis hereditary forms, but they only a small rate sporadic cases. Several agents, including anti-VEGF drugs mTOR inhibitors, possible options treatment advanced metastatic pRCC, following demonstration efficacy obtained clinical trials RCC subtypes. However, data specifically subgroup patients affected by limited not conclusive. ongoing evaluating targeted therapy form. more rationale approaches based on studies would help improving outcome these patients. Among others, inhibitors immunotherapy promising new strategies disease. This review summarizes current knowledge tumorigenesis discusses recent with therapeutic agents.
