Zusammenfassung:Micro-Abstract This study prospectively evaluated the benefits of the addition of bone-specific therapy to targeted therapy in patients with renal cell carcinoma metastatic to bone. Thirty patients were randomized to either everolimus alone or everolimus in combination with zoledronic acid. The study found that this combination approach suppressed bone turnover and suggested prolonged tumor control.
