The IMDC score uses six factors to sort metastatic kidney cancer into three risk groups. It decides whether dual immunotherapy or immunotherapy plus a targeted pill is offered first.
International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium (Heng) criteria: Karnofsky <80%, <1 year from diagnosis to treatment, anaemia, hypercalcaemia, neutrophilia, thrombocytosis. 0 factors favourable, 1-2 intermediate, ≥3 poor. Nivolumab-ipilimumab's OS benefit is confined to intermediate/poor risk; IO-TKI doublets benefit all groups on PFS, with less clear OS benefit in favourable risk.
Renal cell carcinoma comes from the kidney's filtering cortex, urothelial cancer from the lining of the collecting system and bladder, and the adrenal on top hosts cortical and medullary (neuroblastoma) tumours.
