Whether patients with stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC) should receive adjuvant targeted therapy or not is still on debate. The investigators invented a assay consisting of 5 CpGs: cg00396667（PITX1）, cg18815943 （FOXE3）, cg03890877（TWF2）, cg07611000 （EHBP1L1）and cg14391855（RIN1）that was successfully categorise patients with stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma into high-risk and low-risk groups with Harzard Ratio(HR) of 4.93. Here the investigators randomly assign assay-defined high risk patients of locally advanced ccRCC into adjuvant targeted therapy group and observation group.Disease free survival and overall survival are the end points of observation.
The informed consent has been obtained from the patient.
With confirmed diagnosis of stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma
With moderate/good ECOG health rating (PS): 0-1 score.
The patient receive no anti-cancer treatment before primary surgery.
With severe comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic renal dysfunction.
With bad compliance or contraindication to enrollment.
Pregnant woman or lactating woman.
With contraindication to receive adjuvant targeted therapy.
