CheckMate Trials and a Discussion on Synergistic Power of Lag-3 and PD-1 in Kidney Cancer

Dear readers,

Our previous collection on advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC) discussed revisited data and new insights. Today, we would like to highlight more of the roundtable discussions from ASCO GU 2024 moderated by Rana McKay, MD.

First, we included a new discussion between Dr. Katy Beckermann and Dr. Michael Atkins on the potential synergistic power of LAG-3 and PD-1 in kidney cancer. Getting into the roundtables, this collection features segments 4-7, which cover CheckMate-214, 914, 9ER, and 67T. Finally, the panel discussed the future of aRCC. The roundtable coverage and additional content in aRCC can be found on GU Oncology Now.

Kind regards,
Your Editors at MashupMD
