Spontaneous regression of adrenal metastasis from renal cell carcinoma after sunitinib withdrawal: case report and literature review.
Review in BMC urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe spontaneous regression of metastatic renal cell carcinoma is a rare phenomenon, with an estimated incidence of < 1%. We report a case of post-nephrectomy renal cell carcinoma adrenal metastasis, followed by the spontaneous regression of the metastasis after withdrawal of sunitinib. CASE PRESENTATION: The patient was a 55-year-old male with clear cell type renal cell carcinoma who previously underwent a left laparoscopic radical nephrectomy. After 51 months of follow up, a recurrence in the left renal fossa was observed and subsequently excised. Four months after excision, an abdominal Computerized tomography (CT) identified an adrenal metastasis of 1.6 cm. The patient was treated with sunitinib. However, the treatment was discontinued because of gastrointestinal side effects and fatigue. Eleven months after the discontinuation of sunitinib treatment, a progression in the adrenal metastasis growth (5.7 cm) was observed, whereas 16 months after the discontinuation, a regression of the adrenal metastasis growth (3.4 cm) was observed. During subsequent follow-ups, a gradual reduction in the size of the adrenal metastasis (1.8 cm) was observed. After 44 months from the discontinuation of sunitinib treatment, the patient was still alive and followed up in the outpatient department.
conclusionsSunitinib is a multi-targeted inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors. This compound reduces tumor angiogenesis and has been approved worldwide for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case of the spontaneous regression of metastatic renal cell carcinoma after the discontinuation of sunitinib treatment.
