Brief Title ICMJE | Neo-adjuvant Temsirolimus in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma | |||
Official Title ICMJE | A Pilot Study of Neo-adjuvant Temsirolimus in Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Undergoing Definitive Therapy With Radical Nephrectomy, or Cytoreductive Nephrectomy: Analysis if Serum and Tissue Biomarkers | |||
Brief Summary | Temsirolimus is a drug that is being studied to possibly treat kidney cancer. It works by starving the cancer of nutrients, by cutting off the blood supply, which is hoping to shrink the cancer. This study will look at the experimental use of temsirolimus, 12 weeks prior to the surgical removal of the entire kidney or a portion of the kidney that is involved by the tumor. | |||
Detailed Description | This study will also find out whether or not there are certain biological factors that show up in patients during their treatment with this drug. This will be able to predict how their disease will respond to the therapy (biomarkers), and this will possibly allow anti-cancer therapies to be developed in the future to tailor to a patient's needs. | |||
