Early Tumour Shrinkage: A Tool for the Detection of Early Clinical Activity in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Viktor Grünwald, Xun Lin, Daniel Kalanovic, Ronit Simantov European Urology Volume 70, Issue 6, Pages 1006-1015 (December 2016) DOI: 10.1016/j.eururo.2016.05.010 Copyright © 2016 Terms and Conditions
Fig. 1 Receiver operating characteristic analysis of overall survival and progression-free survival. Vascular endothelial growth factor–targeted agents include axitinib, bevacizumab plus temsirolimus, sorafenib, and sunitinib. Treatment with temsirolimus includes both single-agent temsirolimus and temsirolimus plus interferon α. D=point with shortest distance to the optimal point; IFN=interferon; OS=overall survival; PFS=progression-free survival; VEGF=vascular endothelial growth factor.

Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier estimates. (a) Overall survival and (b) progression-free survival in patients with and without early tumour shrinkage; (c) OS and (d) PFS in patients with or without objective response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours. CI=confidence interval; eTS=early tumour shrinkage; HR=hazard ratio; OS=overall survival; PFS=progression-free survival; RECIST=Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours.

Fig. 3 Cox proportional hazards analysis of (a) overall survival and (b) progression-free survival. Early tumour shrinkage ≥10% (yes) versus <10% (no). Vascular endothelial growth factor–targeted agents include axitinib, bevacizumab plus temsirolimus, sorafenib, and sunitinib. Treatment with temsirolimus includes both single-agent temsirolimus and temsirolimus plus interferon-α. CI=confidence interval; ECOG PS=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; eTS=early tumour shrinkage; HR=hazard ratio; IFN=interferon; LLN=lower limit of normal; ULN=upper limit of normal; VEGF=vascular endothelial growth factor.
