Tian Zhang, MD, assistant professor of medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, Duke Cancer Institute, discusses the tolerability of agents used for the treatment of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Most of these trials have completely enrolled and are awaiting final results which will determine tolerability, explains Zhang.
