Özet

The National Cancer Data Base was analyzed to evaluate the impact of delaying initiation of targeted therapy (TT) for metastatic renal-cell carcinoma. After correction for various clinicopathologic factors, delayed initiation of TT was not associated with worse overall survival. This finding supports a practice that appears to be commonplace clinically, although is seldom reported in the literature.
