HOW TO CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE SECOND-LINE TREATMENT?: The treatment of advanced or metastatic renal cell cancer (RCC) has dramatically improved in the past ten years. In the second-line setting, for patients who progressed on prior antiangiogenic therapy (mainly the VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) sunitinib or pazopanib), axitinib and everolimus have been recommended. Since 2015, other drugs have proven their efficacy and are currently considered the standard of care: cabozantinib (TKI that targets VEGFR, MET and AXL) and nivolumab (first anti-PD-1 check point inhibitor). Lenvatinib has also demonstrated promising results in association with everolimus, but this combination is not available in France. The optimal treatment choice for a given patient is challenging for the clinician when facing multiple options. In this article, we review the efficacy, safety and quality of life results of the main pivotal clinical studies involving advanced or metastatic RCC in the second-line setting, to help clinicians in selecting the most appropriate treatment. Beyond that, it is important to define all the sequencing strategy for patients to successively receive all the drugs that have demonstrated an increase in overall survival.
