A Study of Neoadjuvant Sutent for Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma

Summary

Study Hypothesis: Patients with local renal cell carcinoma who are treated neoadjuvantly with Sutent may show a radiologic response to the study drug (Sutent). The study is looking at the neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) administration of Sutent in patients with localized kidney cancer. The purpose of this research is also to evaluate both the safety and effectiveness of Sutent in this patient population.
