Abstract:
358 Background: Survival estimates for patients with mRCC are traditionally reported from the time of TT initiation. These survival projections, however, may not be applicable to patients who have already survived a period of time after initiating therapy. CS accounts for elapsed time since starting therapy, providing more relevant prognostic information. Methods: Data on 1673 patients treated with first-line VEGF TT between 4/7/2003 and 10/12/2010 was analyzed. Median follow up for patients still alive is 20.1 months. Conditioned survival was calculated on the set of patients alive or on TT a
